What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill permits an individual to receive an initial license as a special education
teacher if the individual successfully completes a course in the teaching of reading
and reading comprehension, provided the individual satisfies all other requirements
for licensure by the Department of Public Instruction. Current law requires, as a
condition for receiving an initial license to teach in special education, that an
individual has passed an examination identical to the Foundations of Reading test.
