                           STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
    
                                 RS 07439
    
    The purpose of this bill is to further the work of the 
    Professional Standards Commission, while maintaining the 
    proportionate amount of revenue to partially defray the cost 
    of the Office of Teacher Certification. The bill would amend 
    Idaho Code 33-1205 to increase the teacher certification fee 
    from thirty-five dollars ($35) to fifty dollars ($50). The 
    last fee increase was in 1987. Justifications for requesting 
    an increase include:
    
    a. Implementation of the background check requirement 
    has increased personnel and operating costs.
    
    b. Provisions for due process proceedings include the cost 
    of contracting with an attorney to advise the hearing panel, 
    as directed by the Administrative Procedures Act.
    
    c. There has been an increase in the number of Professional 
    Standards Commission investigations into whether an 
    individual is fit to hold a certificate.
    
    d. Personnel costs and other expenditures have 
    increased.
    
    To the greatest extent possible, the Office of Teacher 
    Certification has decreased its costs by using technology 
    to reduce the expense of printing certification manuals.
    
                               FISCAL NOTE
    
    There will be no fiscal impact on the General Account as a 
    consequence of adopting this proposal. The fee increase 
    will neither add to or take from the General Account.
