	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Olsen
   (Coauthors: Assembly Members Baker, Bonilla, and Lackey)

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2016

   An act to add and repeal Section 44300.5 of the Education Code,
relating to teacher credentialing.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2336, as introduced, Olsen. Teacher credentialing: emergency
substitute teaching permits.
   Existing law authorizes the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to
issue various types of teaching and services credentials, including
preliminary and clear multiple and single subject teaching
credentials. The commission is also authorized to issue emergency
teaching and specialist permits that correspond to specified
credential types. Statutory provisions specify the requirements with
which applicants for those credentials and permits are required to
comply.
   Existing regulations provide for procedures by which the
commission may issue a permit authorizing the holder to substitute
teach, limited each school year to up to 30 days for any one teacher
in a general education classroom or 20 days for any one teacher in a
special education classroom.
   This bill would, until January 1, 2022, require the commission to
issue Emergency Substitute Teaching Permits authorizing the holder to
substitute teach, limited each school year to up to 60 days for any
one teacher in a general education classroom or 40 days for any one
teacher in a special education classroom.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 44300.5 is added to the Education Code, to
read:
   44300.5.  (a) The commission shall issue Emergency Substitute
Teaching Permits authorizing the holder to serve in any classroom,
preschool, kindergarten, and any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, or in
classes organized primarily for adults within each county in which
the permit is registered, provided the employing agency has a
completed Statement of Need on file for the school year as provided
for in Section 80025 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations
or any successor regulation. The permit shall authorize the holder
to serve as a substitute teacher for up to 60 days for any one
teacher during the school year or serve as a special education
substitute teacher for up to 40 days for any one teacher during the
school year.
   (b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2022, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2022, deletes or extends
that date.
