A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4579 AS INTRODUCED 4-17-01
House Bill 4579 would amend the Revised School Code to specify that notwithstanding any rule to the contrary, a substitute teacher permit would be valid for three years. Currently a substitute teacher permit is valid for one year, as specified in R390.1141 of the Michigan Administrative Code (also known as Rule 41).
[Rule 390.1141, which went into effect July 8, 1989, states that (1) On application, the state board will issue a special permit for a person who has the statutory qualifications and has completed, or had accepted by transfer, the prescribed amount of satisfactory college credit in an approved teacher education program. The permit will be a full-year permit or substitute permit. (2) A full-year or substitute permit or renewal of either permit is issued to the recommending superintendent or personnel officer, who applies for the permit or renewal and who affirms under oath that the requirements for the requested permit or renewal have been met, including that a certificated teacher is not available for employment. The recommending superintendent or personnel officer receiving the permit or renewal holds the permit or renewal for the person.]
