Bill Summary · AB 933

Legislative bill overview

AB 933 updates references to Wisconsin's administrative code section PI 34 and removes an outdated grandfather clause that previously allowed individuals to maintain industrial arts teaching licenses under old rules. This is housekeeping legislation proposed by the Department of Public Instruction to clean up the administrative code.

Why is this important

Outdated grandfather provisions can create confusion in regulatory enforcement and complicate the licensing process for current and future teachers. Updating code references ensures the administrative framework accurately reflects current teacher certification standards and eliminates potential loopholes or inconsistencies in how licenses are administered.

Potential points of contention

  • Limited transparency on grandfather clause elimination: The bill doesn't clearly explain who currently holds these grandfather-protected licenses or how the elimination affects their status going forward
  • Lack of public detail on PI 34 changes: Without seeing the specific code references being updated, it's difficult to assess whether any substantive policy shifts occur beyond technical corrections
  • Insufficient notice period: If individuals with grandfather-protected licenses weren't given advance notice, eliminating this provision could create unexpected compliance burdens
