HB 4885 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Occupations: hearing aid; references to hearing aid dealers in public health code; revise. Amends secs. 16807 & 17601 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16807 & 333.17601). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4883'25

HB 4885 amends Michigan's Public Health Code (sections 333.16807 and 333.17601) to clarify that fitting and dispensing hearing aids remains regulated under Article 13 of the Occupational Code (not speech-language pathology practice). The bill directly affects hearing aid professionals and dealers by aligning the Public Health Code with existing occupational regulations. It updates references to ensure consistency, specifying that hearing aid fitting/disposal falls under Article 13 (MCL 339.1301-339.1309), not speech-language pathology provisions. This is a technical correction to the code, not a new policy change.
