IN RE:
SB1590 by Bettencourt (Relating to rules by the State Board for Educator Certification regarding virtual observation options for field-based experiences and internships required for educator certification.), As Passed 2nd House

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

It is assumed that the costs associated with the bill's provisions relating to rules by the State Board for Educator Certification regarding virtual observation options for field-based experiences and internships required for educator certification could be absorbed using existing resources.

Local Government Impact

Virtual field-based experiences and observations will reduce costs for educator preparation programs run by local government entities.
