         SECTION 1.  Section 21.102, Education Code, is amended by
  adding Subsection (a-1) to read as follows:
         (a-1)  A person who voluntarily accepts an assignment in a
  new professional capacity that requires a different class of
  certificate under Subchapter B than the class of certificate held

  previously employed may be employed under a probationary contract.
  This subsection does not apply to a person who is returned by a
  school district to a professional capacity in which the person was
  employed by the district before the district employed the person in
  the new professional capacity as described by this subsection. A
  person described by this subsection who is returned to a previous
  professional capacity is entitled to be employed in the original
  professional capacity under the same contractual status as the
  status held by the person during the previous employment by the
  district in that capacity.
         SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
  a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
  provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution.  If this
  Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
  Act takes effect September 1, 2011.
