Teachers; career and technical education, alternative pathway to provisional licensure.

Deleted the provision allowing local school divisions to issue locally awarded subject matter expert credentials for part-time CTE instructors.

Updated the bill header from 'House Substitute' to 'Enrolled' and removed the Governor's amendment date, reflecting the final legislative approval.

Created a new alternative pathway allowing CTE teachers with industry-recognized credentials and a high school diploma to receive a provisional license, bypassing the requirement for a bachelor's degree or specific university coursework.

Added a requirement that all CTE teachers seeking licensure must complete training in classroom management, positive behavior interventions, and educational technology, regardless of their industry experience.

Replaced the definition of 'Equivalency assessment framework' with 'Alternate route to licensure' and updated the effective date of the statute from July 1, 2030, to July 1, 2025.

Clarified the Board's authority to issue provisional licenses to veterans and out-of-state applicants, specifying the exact clauses under which these licenses may be granted.
