Summary

The measure changes the definition of “years of experience” so that time served in the U.S. Armed Forces counts toward a teacher’s or a county‑board health nurse’s experience when they are under contract to teach or work as a school nurse. This credit can affect salary increments that are based on experience. The change is meant to ensure service members receive credit for their military time when they enter education roles.
