(a) The commission shall suspend the credential of a
holder when it receives notice that another state has taken final
action to revoke a credential or license authorizing the holder of
the credential to perform any duty in the public schools of another
state. The suspension shall not take effect until the commission
verifies by reviewing documents as set forth in paragraph (4) of
subdivision (d) of Section 44242.5 that the underlying acts of
misconduct in the other state could result in a revocation of a
credential in this state. The suspension shall remain in effect until
the commission takes final action on a recommendation of the
Committee of Credentials following a review in accordance with
Sections 44242.5, 44242.7, 44244, 44244.1, and 44245.
   (b) Nothing in this section is intended to require the commission
to revoke the credential of an individual whose credential has been
suspended pursuant to subdivision (a). The commission shall exercise
its independent judgment in making a decision in each case.
