Bill > HB4887

This bill makes several technical modifications to licensing and renewal processes in the Michigan Occupational Code, primarily focusing on clarifying language and standardizing procedures for professional license renewals. The bill removes specific references to collection agencies from sections governing license term start dates and makes grammatical and stylistic changes to language about license renewal and reinstatement. Key provisions include allowing professionals to renew expired licenses within 60 days by paying required fees, permitting license reinstatement up to 3 years after expiration with specific conditions like completing continuing education, and establishing clearer administrative processes for handling license applications. Notably, the bill also completely repeals Article 9 of the Occupational Code, which pertains to collection agencies, effectively eliminating that specific professional licensing category. The changes aim to streamline bureaucratic processes, provide more consistent guidance for professionals seeking to maintain or restore their licenses, and modernize the language of existing licensing regulations.
