	(1)  In SECTION 1 of the bill, in the introductory language 
(page 1, line 11), strike "(e) and (f)" and substitute "(c), (c-1),

	(2)  In SECTION 1 of the bill, immediately preceding added 
Subsections (e) and (f), Section 21.052, Education Code (page 1,

	(c)  Subject to Subsection (c-1), the board shall issue a 
temporary certificate for an initial term of one year to a person 
participating in an accredited alternative certification program 
in another state, provided that the person holds or would be 
entitled to obtain a temporary credential issued by the other state 
authorizing the person to teach in that state.  The board shall 
permit a person issued a temporary certificate under this 
subsection to take the appropriate examination or examinations 
under Section 21.048 for standard certification during the initial 
term of the temporary certificate.
	(c-1)  A person described by Subsection (c) is subject to any 
fingerprinting requirement generally imposed by the board on a 
person seeking a certificate and is not entitled to a temporary 
certificate under that subsection if the person does not satisfy 
any criteria relating to criminal history established by the board.
	(d)  The board shall renew a temporary certificate issued 
under Subsection (c) for a second one-year term if the person to 
whom the certificate is issued satisfactorily completes one year of 
teaching in a setting that includes participation by the person in 
an educator mentoring program and performs successfully on the 
appropriate examination or examinations under Section 21.048 for 
standard certification.  After the expiration of the second 
one-year term, the person is not entitled to further renewal of the 
temporary certificate and must obtain a standard certificate from 
the board based on the person's receipt of a standard certificate 
from the state in which the person participated in the accredited 
alternative certification program.
