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 means that teachers will no longer be required to renew their professional certificates, streamlining the certification process for educators in the state.

The provisions outlined in this bill will take effect on July 1, 2026, marking a significant change in the certification requirements for teachers in South Carolina. By eliminating the renewal requirement, the bill aims to reduce administrative burdens on educators and allow them to focus more on their teaching responsibilities.
