Abstract
(HB4922 · 103rd Legislature) Education: all other employees; licensing of school librarians; eliminate. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1531k. Latest action (2026-06-18): Referred To Committee On Rules
Why this matters
Removing the school librarian license changes what credentials Michigan school districts may require when hiring, potentially expanding the applicant pool for employers while lowering the professional entry standard for workers in that role. It fits a broader pattern of Michigan proposals rethinking occupational licensing scope, and has downstream implications for school labor markets and library staffing costs.
