Assembly Bill 933 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update references to Chapter PI 34 of the Administrative Code, which pertains to educator licenses, and to eliminate an outdated grandfather provision related to teaching industrial arts.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 replaces obsolete statutory references to PI 34 that were affected by its repeal and recreation in 2018, ensuring that current law accurately reflects the updated administrative code. Specifically, it amends several sections of the statutes to correct these references, including changes to sections 115.42, 118.19, and 118.193.
Additionally, the bill removes a grandfather 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 provision is deemed obsolete and is eliminated from current law. The bill is presented as remedial legislation, requested by the Department of Public Instruction, and is intended to streamline and modernize the licensing framework for educators in Wisconsin.
