Teacher credentialing: fees.
Summary
Existing law establishes the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to review and approve applications for and issue teaching and services credentials, and authorizes the commission to levy fees for the issuance and renewal of teaching and services credentials, to be deposited into the Teacher Credentials Fund in the State Treasury. This bill would require the commission to waive all application and processing fees for the initial issuance of a teaching credential to an out-of-state applicant who relocates to California due to orders received from a branch of the United States Armed Forces that require the applicant's spouse to relocate to California.
