Summary of HB 2662 (Session 2025-2026) – Pennsylvania

Purpose and intent

The bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to extend or modify provisions related to the permit for classroom monitors.

Specifically, it alters the expiration provision for the permit for classroom monitors, removing the previously stated expiration date.

Key provisions and changes

Section 1218.1(g) of the Public School Code is amended to change the language related to the permit for classroom monitors.

The prior language indicated that the section “expires on June 30, 2026.” The amendment removes this expiration clause, effectively extending or removing the automatic sunset of the permit provision.

The text of the bill does not introduce other substantive changes to permitting requirements beyond clarifying that the permit for classroom monitors is not subject to that 2026 sunset.

Affected parties and impacts

Classroom Monitors: Individuals serving or seeking to serve as classroom monitors under the permit framework would be directly impacted by the removal of the sunset date. This could mean continuity for current monitors and ongoing eligibility procedures under the permit.

School districts and charter schools: Entities employing classroom monitors would benefit from continuity and predictability in staffing under the permit framework.

Education policymakers and credentialing systems: Agencies or boards administering classroom monitor permits would no longer operate under an explicit expiration tied to June 30, 2026, though they may still have other regulatory requirements to administer.

Procedural and timeline aspects

The bill is introduced on June 23, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Education on June 24, 2026.

The act takes effect immediately upon enactment.

The primary procedural change is the removal of the sunset deadline for the permit for classroom monitors, as previously scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026.

Additional notes

No additional changes to the criteria, qualifications, or process for obtaining a classroom monitor permit are detailed in the bill text as provided.

The sponsors include multiple representatives (Kozak, Kuzma, Mackenzie, Anderson, Cooper, Rowe), indicating bipartisan or cross-chamber backing for this provision.

If you’d like, I can compare this bill’s language to the prior version to highlight any nuanced differences in wording or potential regulatory implications.
