Occupations: individual licensing and registration; continuing education requirements; allow to be fulfilled with online remote learning. Amends sec. 314 of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.314).

HB 4895 would allow licensed professionals in Michigan to complete all their required continuing education hours online or through electronic media, rather than requiring in-person attendance. This change directly affects individuals holding state-licensed occupations (like nurses, engineers, or cosmetologists) who must fulfill ongoing education requirements to maintain their licenses. The bill amends Michigan’s Occupational Code to require the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs to permit 100% of continuing education through approved online programs meeting department standards. The proposal is currently pending in committee and has not yet become law.
