Committee advances multiple education bills; librarian certification change passes 7‑4
Summary
The House Education and Workforce Committee voted to refer or report a package of bills including remote continuing-education for licensed occupations, an epinephrine access package, and a change to school librarian certification. Most bills advanced unanimously in committee; one bill on librarian endorsement passed 7‑4.
The Michigan House Education and Workforce Committee held a series of roll‑call votes advancing several bills on Nov. 7, 2025.
Key committee actions recorded during the meeting included unanimous committee approvals to advance an epinephrine access package (House Bills 50‑49 and 50‑51 through 50‑54) and to refer House Bill 48‑95 (remote continuing education for licensed occupations) to the House Committee on Rules. Representative Pavlov’s substitute (H‑1) to House Bill 48‑13 was referred to Rules by roll call. The committee also reported House Bill 49‑22, which would remove an additional endorsement requirement for school librarians beyond a valid teaching certificate; that bill passed committee 7 yeas to 4 nays.
The clerk recorded roll‑call tallies in open session for each motion. No lobby statements or floor debate accompanied most votes; committee members recorded their positions during roll call. The committee then received extended testimony on another matter (House Bill 50‑44) and a presentation on labor‑market projections before adjourning.
