Removing fees teachers have to pay in order to obtain any teaching license, certification, or additional continuing education credit hours (reporting fee) to the state Board of Education

HB 2926 removes all fees West Virginia teachers pay to the state for obtaining or renewing teaching licenses, certifications, and registering continuing education credits. It requires the West Virginia Department of Education to eliminate these fees by January 30, 2026. This directly affects all teachers seeking to maintain or advance their teaching credentials within the state. The bill removes administrative costs but does not change the educational requirements for certification or continuing education.
