This bill proposes to amend section 15-132 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically regarding the issuance of temporary certificates to exchange teachers and professors. The current law states that the state board of education shall issue these certificates to individuals whose training and background comply with the rules promulgated by the board for certification, ensuring they are equivalent to those of the local teacher.

The proposed changes include replacing the term "promulgated" with "adopted" to modernize the language and adding the term "PROFESSOR" to explicitly include professors in the certification process. This update clarifies that both exchange teachers and professors from foreign countries and other states are eligible for temporary certification, aligning the language with contemporary educational practices.
