This bill clarifies when the state education secretary can refuse, renew, revoke, or suspend teacher and school administrator certificates by specifying that ethics violations must first be confirmed by the appropriate professional practices commission before action is taken. The bill makes explicit that certificate decisions can only be made for incompetency, ethics violations, neglect of duty, failure to meet certification requirements, moral turpitude, or other causes allowed by law.
