Provides expedited determination by State Board of Examiners on application for teaching staff member certification if certain criteria are met.

This bill (A1631) allows teaching certification applicants in New Jersey to request an expedited review of their application from the State Board of Examiners. To qualify, an applicant must have had their completed application on file for at least four weeks and submit the request within two weeks before Labor Day each school year. If these conditions are met, the Board must issue certification or provide a written denial within one week of receiving the request. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
