This bill amends the Revised School Code of 1976 by adding a new section, 1531k, which stipulates that the Department of Education, school district boards, intermediate school district boards, and public school academy boards cannot mandate that individuals obtain any endorsements or certificates beyond a standard teaching certificate to serve as school librarians in public schools across Michigan.

The intent of this legislation is to simplify the requirements for individuals wishing to work as school librarians, thereby potentially increasing the pool of qualified candidates for these positions and ensuring that schools can more easily staff their libraries. This change aims to enhance access to library services for students without imposing additional certification barriers.
