THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 1531j. (1) In addition to other types of teaching

 

certificate or interim teaching certificate under this act, the

 

superintendent of public instruction may grant a temporary teaching

 

certificate to an individual who meets all of the following:

 

     (a) He or she is married to a member of the armed forces of

 

the United States who is on active duty.

 

     (b) He or she holds a current teaching certificate or license

 

issued by an equivalent credentialing department, board, or

 

authority, as determined by the superintendent of public

 

instruction, in another state of the United States, the District of

 

Columbia, Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, another

 

territory or protectorate of the United States, or a foreign

 

country.

 

     (c) He or she provides proof acceptable to the superintendent

 

of public instruction that his or her spouse is assigned to a duty

 

station in this state and that he or she is also assigned to a duty

 

station in this state under his or her spouse's official active

 

duty military orders.

 

     (2) The superintendent of public instruction shall deny a

 

temporary teaching certificate to an individual described in

 

subsection (1) for fraud, material misrepresentation, or

 

concealment in the person's application for a temporary teaching

 

certificate or for a conviction for which an individual's teaching

 

certificate may be revoked under section 1535a.

 

     (3) A temporary teaching certificate issued under subsection

 

(1) is valid for 1 year and may be renewed for additional 1-year

 

terms if the superintendent of public instruction determines the

 

individual holding the temporary teaching certificate continues to

 

meet the requirements of subsection (1). The superintendent of

 

public instruction may revoke a temporary teaching certificate for

 

a conviction for which an individual's teaching certificate may be

 

revoked under section 1535a.
