A bill for an act relating to renewal requirements associated with licenses issued by the board of educational examiners to certain specified practitioners.

HF 2272 modifies license renewal requirements for certain educational practitioners in Iowa. It adds a new exemption: practitioners employed for 20+ years (unless holding an evaluator endorsement requiring 10-year renewal) are exempt from renewal requirements, alongside the existing 10-year exemption for those with advanced degrees. The bill allows continuing education to be completed electronically and requires the Board of Educational Examiners to conduct criminal history checks every five years for exempt practitioners. This directly affects licensed educational professionals meeting the specified employment duration thresholds. The bill does not change the board’s authority to deny or revoke licenses under existing rules.
