This legislation provides an option for an Idaho certified teacher or administrator to receive a lifetime certificate if that teacher or administrator accumulates at least twenty-five years of experience. The certificate would be issued at no expense to the teacher or administrator and would be valid for the duration of the teacher's/administrator's lifetime provided that there is no professional misconduct.

▶ Show fiscal note

There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state general fund, but there may be a slight decrease in certification renewal fees paid to the Department of Education.
