Fees for licensing school and public library personnel; appropriation changes
Under current law, 90 percent of the fees collected by DPI for licensing school and public library personnel and for school districts to participate in DPI's teacher improvement program are credited to an annual sum certain appropriation. The remaining 10 percent of these fees are deposited into the general fund under current law. This bill changes this annual sum certain appropriation to a continuing appropriation and requires that 100 percent of the total fees collected by DPI be credited to the appropriation. Under current law and the bill, the purposes of the appropriation are for 1) DPI's administrative costs related to licensing school and public library personnel; 2) if DPI exercises its authority to provide information and analysis of the professional school personnel supply in this state, the costs of providing that information and analysis; and 3) DPI's teacher improvement program.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
