Continuing education requirements modification for online courses

This bill modifies Minnesota's continuing education rules to allow licensed professionals in various industries to take online courses instead of attending in-person classes. It requires that online courses be approved by specific international certification bodies or state agencies, depending on the profession, and mandates security measures to protect student data. The legislation also sets new standards for course content, ensuring it remains relevant to the industry while excluding sales or exam-prep materials, and establishes a future effective date of January 1, 2027.
