Makes several changes to the teacher licensure process, including (i) permitting teachers with a valid out-of-state license, with full credentials and without deficiencies, to receive licensure by reciprocity without passing additional licensing assessments and (ii) permitting a local school board or division superintendent to waive certain licensure requirements for any individual who holds a provisional license and is employed by the local school board.

delegate landis' house bill 1125, house bill 1125, it is a bill related to teacher licensure and the reports presented, it is available on line, has been distributed and it before the body. delegate from augusta, delegate landis.

Del. Steve Landes (R-Weyers Cave): thank you Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, members of the house , the conference report that I'm going to ask you to accept for house bill 1125, then there's a senate companion bill senator peake has that we will get to later , the different that we had was related to the potential fiscal impact on both these bills that we did not know until late in the session. With the conference committee report and conference committee recommended substitute does isry move the two enactment clauses were at the end of legislation that dealt with reporting and analysis that the department of education believed would be too expensive at this point. So what we have done now is we do have two enactment clauses, one that deals with the licensure and making sure that the educational development programs that teachers must take would be 360 hours and allow the department to start that process since we are moving in license from five years to 10 years, then the second one simply is to allow us to get more information as we move through these changes with the teacher licensure and reciprocity that the department will be working on if this legislation is signed by the governor, would allow for both the education committees in the house and senate and the senate finance and house appropriations committees to receive information as we go through this process. So that if there is a fiscal impact going forward, they would be able to report to us that for the future. so Mr. Speaker, I would ask the members to accept the conference committee report for house bill 1125. >> shall the conference report be adopted?
