Bill > HB4883

This bill makes several modifications to Michigan's Occupational Code, primarily affecting licensing and registration procedures across various professional sectors. The bill makes technical changes to how licensing terms begin for different professional boards, updates language around license renewal and reinstatement processes, and notably repeals Article 13, which specifically regulated hearing aid dealers and salespeople. Key changes include clarifying renewal timelines (allowing renewals up to 60 days after expiration), standardizing language around license lapses and reinstatement procedures, and modifying requirements for continuing education and reapplication after license expiration. The bill also removes specific references to hearing aid dealers from existing provisions, effectively eliminating separate regulatory provisions for that profession. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for military personnel who are mobilized, providing temporary exemptions from licensing fees and continuing education requirements during their active duty service. These changes aim to streamline occupational licensing processes and update regulatory language across various professional sectors in Michigan.
