HB 23-1064

HB 23-1064, known as the "Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact," makes it simpler for teachers, particularly those in military service and their spouses, to get teaching licenses in other states that join this agreement. Once at least ten states have passed similar laws, teachers can move between these states more easily with fewer licensing hurdles. The bill was signed into law by the governor on March 10, 2023, and will take effect on August 7, 2023. This means that starting in August, eligible teachers can start using this compact to transfer their licenses when moving between participating states.
