Assembly Bill (AB) 1871 (Chap. 660, Stats. 2008) was signed by the Governor on September 30, 2008. The bill has three primary provisions:

Additional options will be available to earn a bilingual authorization including the completion of a Commission-approved bilingual program as well as the option of combining coursework from these programs with Commission-approved bilingual examination subtest(s).

Additional option is available to earn an English learner authorization by combining Commission-approved California Teacher of English Learner (CTEL) program coursework with passing scores on the CTEL examination subtest(s).

Individuals will earn an “authorization” as opposed to a “certificate” for both the bilingual authorizations (formerly Bilingual Crosscultural, Language and Academic Development [BCLAD] Certificate) and the English learner authorizations (formerly Crosscultural, Language, and Academic Development [CLAD] Certificate).

Authorizations will be added to the selected valid prerequisite document when minimum requirements have been met (Information on appropriate prerequisite documents may be found in the information leaflets noted in the References section).
