What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the state superintendent of public instruction to maintain on the Department of Public Instruction’s website an online licensing portal that is searchable by the public at no cost. Under the bill, the portal must include information related to license holders who are investigated by DPI. Specifically, the portal must include for each license holder who is under investigation the name of the license holder and the outcome of the investigation, including if the investigation was terminated because the license holder voluntarily surrendered the license during the investigation. The portal must also include the name of each individual whose license is revoked by DPI.
Under current law, DPI must post on its website the name of each license holder who is under investigation and the name of each individual whose license is revoked by DPI as the result of an investigation.
