Bill > HB4933

This bill modifies sections of Michigan's Occupational Code related to professional licensing, primarily focusing on license renewal, reinstatement, and administrative procedures. The bill makes several technical changes, including standardizing language about license expiration and renewal, such as changing "shall lapse" to "lapses" and clarifying timeframes for late renewals. Most significantly, the bill completely repeals Article 10 of the Occupational Code, which governed employment and personnel agencies, effectively deregulating these types of agencies. The bill also modifies the process for license renewal, allowing professionals up to 60 days after expiration to renew with a late fee, and providing a pathway for reinstatement within three years of expiration without additional examination. For professionals mobilized for military duty, the bill maintains a provision for temporary exemption from licensing requirements. The changes aim to streamline administrative processes for professional licensing and remove regulatory barriers for certain occupational categories. The bill will take effect 90 days after its enactment, providing time for affected agencies and professionals to adapt to the new regulations.
