MI HB6247

Reduces the teaching experience requirement for out-of-state certificate holders seeking Michigan professional education teaching certificates from 3 years to 6 months, with exemptions for active military members, veterans, and their dependents.

Creates an alternative pathway for out-of-state certificate holders that eliminates the requirement to pass Michigan subject area examinations if they meet specified conditions including holding a valid certificate from another state, having no disciplinary history, and maintaining good moral character.

Expands eligibility requirements for out-of-state teachers to include verification that they met another state's minimum education and work experience requirements and passed any required examinations in that state.

Adds provisions preventing Michigan certification issuance if an applicant has pending complaints, investigations, or unresolved disciplinary actions in other states, requiring suspension of the application process until resolution.

Removes the temporary teaching certificate option previously available to out-of-state certificate holders who failed to pass Michigan examinations.
