It’s Official! HB 1201 is Law
Still waiting for your teaching licensed to be renewed? It’ll soon take much less time. Yesterday, Governor Hickenlooper signed HB 1201 by Rep. Millie Hamner (D-Summit) and Sens. Jeanne Nicholson (D-Black Hawk) and Jean White (R-Hayden), which seeks to shorten the time period for renewal and get rid of some of the red tape that makes the process so burdensome and time consuming. CEA lobbyists worked very hard to help craft and pass this bill.
This bill was priority #1 for Rep. Hamner, a former superintendent from Summit County and association leader during her days as a teacher. She was appointed by vacancy committee when former Rep. Christine Scanlan left her seat to work for Governor Hickenlooper. A member of the House Education Committee, she has used her experience as an educator to advocate for good bills (like HB 1201) and fight against bills that would negatively affect teachers, educational support professionals and schools. She has been a great addition to the House!
Please thank her and Senators Nicholson and White for their work on HB 1201!
