The act eliminates the requirement that an applicant have the successful teaching experience within the previous 7 years.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The act creates a temporary licensing process for teachers from states that participate in the 'Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact' (Compact). The process requires that CDE:<br/></p><p><ul><li>Issue an initial teacher license within 30 days of receiving a complete teacher license application from a person licensed by a Compact state when the applicant passes a criminal history record check and holds an unencumbered eligible license issued by a Compact state that is equivalent to an eligible license in Colorado; and </li><li>Publish an annual table showing how out-of-state licenses correspond to Colorado endorsement areas.</li></ul></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The act repeals the temporary licensing process when CDE begins issuing licenses pursuant to the Compact.<br/><br/><br/><i>(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)</i></p></body></html>",
