What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law includes references to Chapter PI 34 of the Administrative Code, entitled Educator Licenses. Chapter PI 34 was repealed and recreated in 2018. This bill replaces statutory references to PI 34 that no longer exist with cross-references to the current version of PI 34.

Chapter 154, laws of 1971

, created a new provision to prohibit the Department of Public Instruction from issuing a license to teach industrial arts subjects unless an applicant has had three years of practical experience beyond apprenticeship or four years of institutional training in the industrial arts subjects. The same 1971 law also included a grandfather provision for individuals who taught an industrial arts subject on January 1, 1936, that remains in current law. Specifically, current law provides that an individual who taught an industrial arts subject on January 1, 1936, who had five years of practical or teaching experience in the subject is considered to have the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree for purposes of salary schedules and promotion. The bill removes the grandfather provision that applies to individuals who taught an industrial arts subject on January 1, 1936.
