The bill establishes an interstate compact designed to enhance the mobility of teachers across member states by creating a streamlined licensure pathway. It aims to support the relocation of eligible military spouses, improve the exchange of licensure information, and eliminate barriers to the employment of out-of-state teachers while maintaining state sovereignty over teaching regulations. New definitions are introduced for terms such as "active military member," "eligible military spouse," and "unencumbered license." The bill also creates the Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact Commission, which will oversee the compact's implementation, manage licensure information, and ensure compliance among member states.

Additionally, the bill outlines procedures for the nonrenewal of employment contracts for provisional employees in school districts, requiring a meeting within ten days of a reconsideration request and mandating that the superintendent provide a written report to the school board if recommending nonrenewal. The board must notify the provisional employee of its final decision within ten days, which is not subject to appeal. The bill also updates section numbering and specifies that its provisions apply only to individuals employed in teaching or nonsupervisory certificated positions after June 25, 1976, while excluding other laws from the nonrenewal process.
