The bill H. 3207 proposes an amendment to the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding Section 59-25-112, which establishes that professional certificates issued by the State Board of Education will be permanent unless they are revoked or suspended. This amendment specifies that these certificates will not require renewal, meaning that teachers will not be obligated to renew their professional certificates issued by the board.

The provisions outlined in this bill are set to take effect on July 1, 2026. This change aims to simplify the certification process for teachers in South Carolina by eliminating the need for periodic renewals, thereby providing greater stability in their professional credentials.
