Senate Bill 912 aims to update references to Chapter PI 34 of the Administrative Code, which pertains to educator licenses, and to eliminate an outdated grandfather provision related to teaching industrial arts. The bill amends several sections of the statutes, specifically 115.42 (1) (a) 1., 118.19 (7) (a), 118.19 (16), 118.193 (1), and 118.193 (4) (b). Notably, it replaces references to the now-repealed PI 34.19 with the current PI 34.042, and similarly updates other references to align with the revised administrative code.

Additionally, the bill removes a provision that allowed individuals who taught industrial arts subjects on January 1, 1936, and had five years of experience, to be considered equivalent to having a bachelor's degree for salary and promotion purposes. This change reflects a move towards modernizing the licensing requirements and ensuring that all educators meet current standards without relying on historical provisions that are no longer relevant.
