HB 18-1130

HB 18-1130, a Colorado bill that has been signed into law, changes the requirements for out-of-state teachers and special services providers who want to work in Colorado. Instead of needing three continuous years of teaching experience, these professionals now only need to have accumulated three years of experience at any point within the last seven years. This change makes it easier for educators with diverse career paths to transfer their skills to Colorado schools. The bill is now law and will affect how new teachers from other states are licensed in Colorado.

Official Summary

Under current law, the department of education may issue a professional teacher license or professional special services license to a teacher or special services provider who holds a comparable license from another state and has 3 years of continuous teaching or special services experience. The bill changes the requirement from 3 years of continuous experience to 3 years of experience within the previous 7 years. (Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.) , Read More
