AN ACT CONCERNING THE FEES AND CHARGES FOR AN EDUCATOR LICENSE.

SB 594 eliminates application review fees charged by the State Board of Education for educator license applications and sets a $100 maximum fee for issuing the license. The bill directly affects educators seeking or renewing teaching licenses in Connecticut by reducing their upfront costs. Key provisions remove the review fee entirely and cap the issuance fee at $100, streamlining the licensing process. The stated purpose is to lower licensing costs to assist in teacher recruitment.
