Bill > HB4912

This bill amends the Michigan Occupational Code to modify licensing requirements for residential builders and contractors, specifically adding an explicit exemption for floor sanders. The bill updates existing law to include a new provision that allows individuals who exclusively engage in floor sanding to work without a residential builder or maintenance and alteration contractor license. This change is part of a broader set of exemptions that already exist in the law, which permit certain individuals and entities to perform construction or maintenance work without a specific license. These existing exemptions include government representatives, property owners working on their own property, court officers, contractors working under licensed builders, and those performing small projects under $600. The bill also makes minor technical changes to language describing licensed contractors (changing "that" to "who") for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical contractors, and adds a specific reference to the Skilled Trades Regulation Act of 2016. The modification appears intended to reduce regulatory barriers for floor sanding professionals by explicitly exempting them from licensing requirements under this section of the law.
