HB 4922 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Education: all other employees; licensing of school librarians; eliminate. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1531k.

HB 4922 removes a requirement that school librarians in Michigan public schools must obtain additional certifications beyond a standard teaching certificate. The bill directly affects school librarians, school districts, and public school academies by prohibiting them from mandating extra endorsements or certificates for librarian positions. Key provision: Section 1531k of the Revised School Code explicitly states that no school entity may require such additional credentials. This change simplifies hiring for school libraries while maintaining the baseline teaching certificate requirement. The bill is currently pending second reading after committee review.
