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

This bill (A 773) speeds up the processing of teaching certification applications in New Jersey. It requires the State Board of Examiners to issue or deny certification within one week of receiving a request, provided the applicant's completed application has been on file for at least four weeks and the request is submitted during the two weeks before Labor Day each school year. The bill directly affects teaching applicants who meet these specific timing criteria. It changes the current process by establishing a strict one-week deadline for decisions under these conditions, rather than allowing longer review periods. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
