Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to make a technical improvement in the language for reimbursement of teachers for fees upon enrollment, completion or renewal of National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) certification. Currently completion is defined as submitting “ten scorable entries,” but the NBPTS has changed its definition several times over the years and the current statutory definition is no longer valid. The new language requires the submission of satisfactory evidence to the West Virginia Department of Education, rather than relying on a specific parameter of the NBPTS that may change.

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
There will be no additional cost to the State as a result of the proposed legislation. The technical changes being made in the language will not impact the volume of teachers who are reimbursed under the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards program, nor does it impact the amount of the reimbursement to approved teachers.
