MODERATE
This bill was amended to streamline its scope by removing provisions related to adjunct teacher training and new mass casualty incident training requirements for educators. The changes also updated the bill's title from 'HB 37' to 'CS/HB 37' to indicate it is now a committee substitute version, and reduced the page count from 13 to 12 pages. The core content regarding teacher preparation program requirements remains substantially intact, though some items in the list of required curriculum elements were renumbered and consolidated.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed by removing the creation of a new statute (s. 1012.5841) that would have required adjunct teaching certificate holders to receive mass casualty incident training and established a new section for the Department of Education to develop approved training lists. The remaining scope focuses on updating teacher preparation program requirements under existing statutes.
