MI HB6107

Requires the state board to approve a nationally-administered teacher licensing examination by June 1, 2025, to replace the current system of multiple subject area examinations.

Changes language regarding acceptance of equivalent examinations from out-of-state teachers: makes it mandatory (rather than discretionary) for the superintendent to accept examinations approved by the issuing state or federally recognized Indian tribe, while maintaining discretion for teachers certified in other countries.

Eliminates the definitions section (subsection 14) that previously defined "additional endorsement," out-of-state teachers, and "subject area examination," with updated definitions added to a new subsection 17 that reflects the transition to the new single examination by June 2, 2025.

Specifies that the previous competitive bid process requirements for examination development no longer apply after June 1, 2025, allowing for transition to the newly approved state examination.

Maintains existing requirements for reading credit coursework, successful teaching experience for out-of-state teachers seeking Michigan certification, and temporary teaching certificates for those meeting all other requirements.
