AB 1051, as introduced, Chávez. Teacher credentialing: spouses of active duty members of the Armed Forces: expedited application process.

Existing law requires the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to, among other duties, establish standards for the issuance and renewal of credentials, certificates, and permits.

This bill would require the commission to grant or deny an application for a credential within 14 days of the date that the commission received the application if the applicant supplies the commission with evidence that the applicant is married to, or in a domestic partnership or other legal union with, an active duty member of the Armed Forces of the United States who is assigned to a duty station in this state, as provided, and holds a valid teaching credential in another state, district, or territory of the United States.
