INTERSTATE TEACHER MOBILITY COMPACT

HB 110 would establish New Mexico's participation in the Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact, a multi-state agreement designed to simplify teacher licensure for educators moving between member states. Under the compact, teachers with a full, unrestricted teaching license (an "unencumbered license") from another participating state would typically receive an equivalent license in New Mexico without needing to retake exams or complete additional training. The bill specifically includes provisions to expedite licensure for military spouses relocating due to military orders, aiming to reduce barriers for this group while enabling states to share disciplinary and licensure information.
