FISCAL NOTE
Senate Bill 46
Committee: Education Policy Sponsor: Senator Arthur Orr
Analyst: John Friedenreich Date: 03/21/2023
Senate Bill 46 as reported by the Committee on Education Policy would establish Alabama as a
member-state of the Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact (IMTC). The purpose of the compact
is to: (1) create a streamlined pathway to licensure mobility for teachers; (2) support the
relocation of eligible military spouses; and (3) facilitate and enhance the exchange of licensure,
investigative, and disciplinary information between the member states.
In addition this bill would create the Interstate Teacher Mobility Compact Commission. The
formation of the compact and commission is contingent on the adoption of the compact by at
least ten member states. The Commission (1) would also establish rules and regulations for the
overall management of the commission; and (2) may establish an annual assessment for state
membership in the compact or impose fees on other parties to cover the costs of the operations
and activities of the Commission.
Membership in the IMTC could increase the obligations of the State of Alabama by an
undetermined amount if the Commission levies an annual assessment on member states to cover
the operational costs; and activities of the Commission and to pay travel expenditures for
attendance of the state's delegate at Commission meetings. The actual amount of any increase
would be dependent upon the amount of the assessment, if any, established by the
Commission.
