SB1584 allows Illinois educators with short-term approval licenses to extend their validity if they took leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act.
SB1584 amends the Educator Licensure Article of the School Code to require the State Board of Education to allow an individual with a short-term approval license to extend its validity beyond the expiration date if they took leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993. The extension must be equal to or greater than the number of days the individual took for leave. This provision ensures that educators who need to take leave for family or medical reasons can maintain their licensure without interruption.
