WY SF0072

Wyoming would join the Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact, allowing teachers with unencumbered licenses from other member states to receive equivalent teaching licenses in Wyoming without additional coursework requirements

The compact specifically supports military spouses by granting equivalent licenses even when their existing license is encumbered, helping facilitate relocation due to military assignments

An Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact Commission would be established as a joint interstate governmental agency with one commissioner per member state to administer the compact, promulgate rules, and facilitate information exchange

The compact takes effect when 10 states have enacted it, and member states retain authority over ongoing license renewal requirements, state-specific requirements, and disciplinary actions against teachers

Effective July 1, 2026, with conforming amendments to existing Wyoming education statutes regarding teacher certification, background checks, and professional teaching standards board duties
