   (a) A library staff member employed by a library district upon adoption of this administrative rule (May 30, 2008) will not be required to meet new educational and experience requirements as adopted under this article. The waiver of a staff member's education and experience requirements will remain fully valid only for the staff member's present position level within their present library district, or successor district in the case of a library merger. The staff member may obtain a new certificate, provided the staff member fully meets the required qualifications for the grade of certificate sought, and provided such new certificate is applied for and processed in the same manner as other certificates issued under this article. The staff member will be required to meet library education requirements to retain valid certification and to pay the fees required for renewal.

  (b) Any uncertified staff member who moves from his or her present position level at his or her present library district after the adoption of this administrative rule to a position that requires certification shall apply for certification prior to the seventh month of holding the position.
