Bill Summary

Relative to the certification of librarians. Education.

AI Summary

This bill amends various sections of Chapter 78 of the General Laws in Massachusetts to remove provisions related to the certification of "subprofessional librarians." Specifically, the bill strikes out the definition of a "subprofessional librarian" and eliminates provisions that allowed the board to issue certifications, hold examinations, and provide hearings for applicants denied certification or whose certification was suspended or revoked. These changes suggest an intent to simplify the certification process for librarians in Massachusetts by focusing solely on the certification of professional librarians.
