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 require individuals to 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 availability of qualified personnel in this role. By removing the necessity for additional certifications, the bill aims to streamline the hiring process and make it easier for educators to transition into library positions within public schools.
