A. The provisions of the School Personnel Act [Chapter 22, Article 10A NMSA 1978], including licensure requirements, shall not apply to industry instructors, except that they shall be required to undergo a background check as provided for licensed school employees in Section 22-10A-5 NMSA 1978.

B. For purposes of the public school insurance authority, each pre-apprenticeship program shall be considered a school-sponsored activity and each industry instructor shall be considered a school volunteer.
