This bill died with 2021-2022 Regular Session. It reached “Introduced” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law defines an alternative certification program as a program operated by certain entities that is designed to provide a concentrated program leading to a permanent teaching credential. Existing law requires alternative certification programs to address geographic and subject matter shortage areas and be targeted toward people with work experience and others who already have a bachelor's degree in the field in which they plan to teach. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the provision relating to subject matter shortage areas.
