Occupations: residential builders; restrictions on qualifying experience for building inspectors; modify. Amends sec. 207 of 2016 PA 407 (MCL 339.5207) & adds sec. 1020.
HB 4894 modifies Michigan's Skilled Trades Regulation Act by adding Section 1020 to remove a requirement that building inspector applicants must have completed qualifying experience within the 5 years before applying. This change directly affects individuals seeking registration as building inspectors by allowing them to use qualifying experience earned more than five years prior. The bill's key mechanism eliminates a specific time limit on qualifying experience, making it easier for applicants with older experience to apply. It does not change other licensing fees or standards, only the experience timeline for building inspector registration.

MINOR
The document changed from a raw legislative bill text to a full webpage view of the Michigan Legislature's Committee Bill Records. The substantive text of HB 4894 remains identical, but the surrounding context was replaced with website navigation, search tools, and a comprehensive list of other bills currently in the Rules Committee.
TECHNICAL
Removed the original bill header, introduction date, and referral information, replacing them with website branding and navigation links.
Added a complete webpage interface including a search bar, menu links to other legislative documents, and a sortable table listing dozens of other bills in the Rules Committee.
The actual text of HB 4894 was reformatted from a plain text file into a webpage layout, though the legal content of the bill itself was not altered.
