Bill > HB4916

This bill modifies the licensure requirements for architects, professional engineers, and professional surveyors in Michigan by making mostly stylistic changes to the language describing qualification standards. For architects, the bill removes the specific requirement to provide evidence of a first professional degree in architecture, while maintaining the existing requirements to pass a qualifying examination, demonstrate good moral character, and provide documentation of professional experience. For professional engineers and professional surveyors, the bill makes minor linguistic adjustments such as replacing phrases like "at least" with "not less than" but retains the core existing requirements of having 8 years of professional experience (with up to 5 years of education counting toward that total), completing a relevant degree, passing professional examinations, and demonstrating good moral character. The changes appear to streamline the language of the licensure requirements without substantially altering the fundamental qualifications needed to become licensed in these professional fields.
