EDUCATIONAL EXAMINERS BOARD[282]
Notice of Intended Action
Proposing rule making related to licensing and providing an opportunity for public comment
The Board of Educational Examiners hereby proposes to amend Chapter 13, "Issuance of Teacher Licenses and Endorsements," Chapter 18, "Issuance of Administrator Licenses and Endorsements," Chapter 23, "Behind-the-Wheel Driving Instructor Authorization," and Chapter 27, "Issuance of Professional Service Licenses," Iowa Administrative Code.
Legal Authority for Rule Making
This rule making is proposed under the authority provided in Iowa Code section 272.2.
State or Federal Law Implemented
This rule making implements, in whole or in part, Iowa Code section 272.7 as amended by 2018 Iowa Acts, House File 2283.
Purpose and Summary
The proposed amendments are intended to implement 2018 Iowa Acts, House File 2283, which amends Iowa Code section 272.7 by eliminating the requirement that licenses remain valid until the last day of the practitioner's birth month, thus allowing the Board to adjust the expiration date for the initial license to align with the academic year.
Fiscal Impact
Board staff estimates that the Board has typically processed approximately 300 extensions per year that would be unnecessary in the future when these amendments become effective. Because the extension fee is $25, the reduction in the number of extensions would result in a decrease of $7,500 in fees collected by the Board annually and $1,875 less in the Board's annual deposit to the General Fund.
Jobs Impact
After analysis and review of this rule making, no impact on jobs has been found.
Waivers
Any person who believes that the application of the discretionary provisions of this rule making would result in hardship or injustice to that person may petition the Board for a waiver of the discretionary provisions, if any, pursuant to 282—Chapter 6.

Any interested person may submit written comments concerning this proposed rule making. Written comments in response to this rule making must be received by the Board no later than 4:30 p.m. on June 29, 2018. Comments should be directed to:
