SB 136 - In 1985, Section 168.015, RSMo, established the Missouri Advisory Council of Certification for Educators. This act alters the aforementioned section by eliminating the Missouri Advisory Council of Certification for Educators and replacing it with a Commissioner's Advisory Council on Teacher Quality, the composition of which is delineated in the act. Many of the duties of the Missouri Advisory Council of Certification for Educators are included in the duties of the new Commissioner's Advisory Council on Teacher Quality; however, the new advisory council will have a broader mission, as provided in the act.
Members of the Commissioner's Advisory Council shall serve without remuneration, but will be reimbursed for travel and other expenses actually and necessarily incurred in the performance of their duties from funds currently appropriated annually to the commissioner of education in accordance with Section 160.530, RSMo.
This act is identical to SCS/SB 937 (2006).
