Bill Summary

Current law includes references to Chapter PI 34 of the Administrative Code, entitled Educator Licenses. Chapter PI 34 was repealed and recreated in 2018. This bill replaces statutory references to PI 34 that no longer exist with cross- references to the current version of PI 34. Chapter 154, laws of 1971, created a new provision to prohibit the Department of Public Instruction from issuing a license to teach industrial arts subjects unless an applicant has had three years of practical experience beyond apprenticeship or four years of institutional training in the industrial arts subjects. The same 1971 law also included a grandfather provision for individuals who taught an industrial arts subject on January 1, 1936, that remains in current law. Specifically, current law provides that an individual who taught an industrial arts subject on January 1, 1936, who had five years of practical or teaching experience in the subject is considered to have the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree for purposes of salary schedules and promotion. The bill removes the grandfather provision that applies to individuals who taught an industrial arts subject on January 1, 1936. For further information, see the NOTES provided by the Law Revision Committee of the Joint Legislative Council.

AI Summary

This bill updates outdated references to Chapter PI 34 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code, which governs educator licenses, by replacing references to repealed sections with correct citations to the current version of PI 34, as this chapter was significantly revised in 2018. Additionally, the bill removes an obsolete provision from 1971 that granted a special equivalency for salary and promotion purposes to individuals who taught industrial arts subjects on January 1, 1936, and had at least five years of relevant experience, recognizing that this grandfather clause is no longer relevant.
