This bill establishes the Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact in Minnesota, designed to facilitate the movement of teachers across member states by creating a streamlined pathway to licensure. It aims to support teachers, especially military spouses, by enhancing the exchange of licensure and disciplinary information, removing barriers to employment for out-of-state teachers, and maintaining state sovereignty in regulating the teaching profession. The compact includes provisions for the creation of a regulatory framework that expedites licensure mobility and supports teacher retention, while also establishing the Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact Commission to oversee its implementation.

The bill introduces amendments to existing laws governing the commission, focusing on the structure and responsibilities of the executive committee, which must meet at least once a year and is tasked with various administrative duties. It allows the commission to accept donations and grants, ensures transparency in financial dealings, and provides qualified immunity for commission members and employees. Additionally, the bill clarifies the relationship between the compact and other state laws, stating that non-conflicting state laws are enforceable while conflicting laws are superseded by the compact. It also outlines the processes for amending the compact and ensures that any unconstitutional provisions do not affect the enforceability of the remaining sections.
