Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1980 PA 299, entitled"Occupational code,"by amending section 2010 (MCL 339.2010), as amended by 1992 PA 103.
AI Summary
This bill modifies existing occupational code regulations for firms practicing architecture, professional engineering, and professional surveying in Michigan. Previously, firms were required to have at least two-thirds of their principals be licensed professionals, but the bill removes this specific requirement. Instead, the bill now allows firms with nonlicensed principals to apply for and receive approval from the state department, provided they comply with departmental rules. The bill also updates language around reporting requirements, requiring firms to provide the department with names and addresses of principals, persons in responsible charge, and unlicensed principals upon request. Additionally, the bill clarifies that firms must employ a person in responsible charge at each business location where services are offered, with an exception for field offices that only review construction. These changes appear to provide more flexibility for firms while maintaining oversight and professional standards in these technical fields.
