AB 811 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Teacher credentialing: computer science instruction: workgroup.

Summary

Existing law requires the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to establish standards for the issuance and renewal of credentials, certificates, and permits. Existing law requires the commission to issue a single subject teaching credential only in specified subjects and authorizes the commission to issue an authorization to teach a subject other than the one authorized by a single subject teaching credential if the holder of the credential meets certain requirements. Existing law, upon appropriation by the Legislature for this purpose, requires the commission, on or before July 1, 2024, to convene a workgroup on credentialing for instruction in computer science, as provided. Existing law also requires the commission, on or before July 1, 2025, to provide a report of the workgroup's findings and recommendations, as provided. Existing law repeals these provisions as of January 1, 2028. This bill would extend the above-referenced deadlines by 2 years and delay the repeal date of those provisions by 2 years.

MINOR

The diff between these two versions of AB 811 reflects primarily a change in document presentation format rather than substantive policy changes. The bill content is identical: it extends computer science workgroup deadlines by 2 years and adds provisions allowing prior field experience as an alternative pathway for teacher credentialing requirements. The 'to' version appears to be a web-based rendering of the same amended assembly text.

TECHNICAL

Document formatting changed from formal legislative document layout (with line numbers, page headers, and column structure) to a web-based presentation format with navigation elements.
