Summary

(1) Existing law requires the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to, among other duties, establish standards for the issuance and renewal of credentials, certificates, and permits. Existing law establishes minimum requirements for the issuance of a preliminary multiple or single subject teaching credential, which include, among other requirements, a baccalaureate degree or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution of postsecondary education and satisfactory completion of a program of professional preparation, as provided. This bill would establish the Technology Education Credential "TEC" Program, under the administration of the commission. The bill would require the commission to develop a streamlined teacher credentialing process for professionals from the technology industry, and other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professions, to become teachers. The bill would authorize the commission to provide grants to these professionals to become teachers through the streamlined process. The bill would establish the Technology Education Credential "TEC" Fund in the State Treasury to receive monetary contributions made for purposes of the program. The bill would continuously appropriate the moneys in the fund to the commission for purposes of the program. (2) The Personal Income Tax Law, in modified conformity with federal income tax laws, and the Corporation Tax Law allow various deductions in computing the income that is subject to the taxes imposed by those laws, including a deduction for a charitable contribution, which includes a contribution or gift to a state for exclusively public purposes. This bill, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, would allow a deduction in computing adjusted gross income under the Personal Income Tax Law and a deduction under the Corporation Tax Law for an amount contributed during the taxable year to the Technology Education Credential "TEC" Fund, as provided.
