2023 Senate Bill 162 / Public Act 111

Education: counseling; reciprocity for out-of-state school counselors; expand.

Mackinac Center Analysis

Senate Bill 162 expands reciprocity for out-of-state school counselors by amending section 1233 (MCL 380.1233) of the Revised School Code. The bill amends subsection 2 which outlines the criteria for issuing a school counselor license. It expands eligibility to individuals who hold a school counselor license from another state, country, or federally recognized Indian tribe. Individuals who meet this criterion need to have served at least three years in a school counseling role and completed the guidance counselor examination in order to be issued a Michigan school counselor license. The bill also adds subsection 13 to include criteria for issuing a preliminary school counselor license. It adds subsection 14 to allow a temporary school counselor license to be issued to an individual who is licensed in another state or country and has met all requirements for Michigan licensure except successful completion of the counselor examination. By expanding eligibility to licensed individuals from other states and countries and easing requirements for temporary licensure, the bill may increase the pool of individuals who qualify for a Michigan school counselor license.

Amends section 1212 (MCL 380.1212) of the Revised School Code. Section 1212 specifies the purposes for which a sinking fund tax, if approved by voters, may be used. Under current law, depending on the date of authorization, the sinking fund tax may be used for the purchase of real estate for the construction of school buildings, repair of school buildings, improvement of school security, and/or purchase of technology resources and upgrades. As passed by the Senate, in addition to the aforementioned items, SB 63 would allow a sinking fund tax to be used for the purchase of student transportation vehicles, maintenance equipment for those vehicles, trucks and vans under the Michigan Vehicle Code to carry equipment and personnel for the maintenance of school buildings, and maintenance equipment for those trucks and vans. If passed, SB 63 could lead to an increase in sinking fund millage rates and/or the number of districts creating sinking funds.
