The Short Version
Renames the 'one-year certificate of eligibility' to 'emergency authorization' for uncredentialed individuals teaching in schools. Killed by voice vote (ITL). The name change would have more accurately reflected that hiring unqualified teachers should be an emergency measure, not routine practice.
