            House Bill 1934 amends the Education Code to require the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) to propose rules to establish procedures to expedite the processing of an application for a certificate submitted by an educator from outside Texas who is the spouse of a person who is serving on active duty as a member of the U.S. armed forces, including rules for providing the appropriate documentation to establish the educator's status as a spouse of such a person.
