What’s in it

AI summary Professional boards and the supreme court would no longer be allowed to require continuing education that is unrelated to a person's job. This change affects licensed professionals, such as teachers and lawyers, by ensuring their required classes focus only on their specific field of work.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to continuing education requirements for licensed professions, including those licensed by the board of education or the supreme court. The bill prohibits boards from adopting rules for continuing education requirements that require a licensee to obtain continuing education credits that are not directly related to the practice of the licensed profession. The bill also requires the supreme court to adopt or amend court rules for the continuing education of attorneys that do not include any requirements that are not directly related to the practice of law.

Changed since by amendment H-8025; see Amendments.
