	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 363, Simitian. Teacher credentialing: identification number.
   The Teacher Credentialing Law of 1988 requires the Commission on
Teacher Credentialing to establish professional standards,
assessments, and examinations for entry and advancement in the
education profession. Existing law requires the commission to
establish a nonpersonally identifiable teacher identification number
for each teacher to whom it issues a credential, certificate, permit,
or other document to teach in the public schools.
   This bill instead would require the commission to establish a
nonpersonally identifiable educator identification number for each
educator to whom it issues a credential to provide a service in the
public schools.



THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 44230.5 of the Education Code is amended to
read:
   44230.5.  The commission shall establish a nonpersonally
identifiable educator identification number for each educator to whom
it issues a credential, certificate, permit, or other document
authorizing that individual to provide a service in the public
schools.
