Committee adopts amendment shifting teacher-licensing fee collection without raising customer cost
Summary
The Education Committee adopted an amendment to House Bill 5,043 that reallocates how a $15 teacher-licensing payment is split between the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission and its e-licensing vendor; the change does not increase the total fee and moves the bill to the full committee with a due-pass recommendation.
The Education Committee on Monday adopted the dash‑1 amendment to House Bill 5,043, a measure that changes which entity collects portions of an unchanged $15 teacher-licensing fee.
Patrick Singh, legislative coordinator for the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission, told the committee the amendment "does not change or increase fees, but shifts how fees are collected." He said the commission will collect $10 and the e‑licensing vendor $5 after the change, whereas previously the vendor collected $10 and the commission $5.
