          Teacher Supply and Demand Report--Costs to gather and analyze        
          data could be partially offset by funds received from certifi-       
          cate application fees. ... Regional Professional Development         
          Review Committees--Cost is currently unknown. ... Institute          
          Fund--Amounts collected would probably not be enough to defray       
          all expenses of regional professional development review comm.       
          and necessary technological improvements. ... Additional Powers

          ... Temporary Employment Authorizations--Will allow applicants       
          to begin employment earlier. ... Grades of Certificates--If the      
          current 20 Master level teachers in Ill. are required to renew       
          at 10-yr. intervals, rather than 7-yr. intervals, fiscal impact      
          would be negligible. ... Administrative Certificates; Resident       
          Teacher Certificates; Illinois Teacher Corps - Regionally            
          Accredited Institutions--Reduces cost and time needed to obtain      
          certificates for persons from accredited institutions. ...           
          General Supervisory Endorsement--No fiscal impact. ... Substi-       
          tute Certificates--No fiscal impact. ... General Certificate--       
          No fiscal impact. ... Printing of Seal-Signature-Credentials--       
          Approximately $600,000 in revenues would be diverted from GRF.

          Board of Examiners-Certificates-Examination--No fiscal impact.

   of  the  School  Code  are  exempt  from provisions of the School Code
