SF 801 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Teachers licensed in another state teaching in Minnesota provisions modifications

SF 801 modifies Minnesota's teacher licensing rules for educators licensed in other states. It exempts these teachers from retaking subject-matter exams if they passed equivalent tests in their home state, eliminating redundant testing. The bill also shortens the probationary employment period from three years to one year for teachers with three consecutive years of experience (in Minnesota or another state). These changes streamline licensure for out-of-state educators while maintaining Minnesota's licensing standards.
