Health occupations: counselors; limited license option for certain counselors; eliminate. Repeals sec. 18109 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.18109).
HB 4902 repeals a specific provision (MCL 333.18109) from Michigan's Public Health Code that previously allowed certain counselors to obtain a limited license. This change eliminates an existing pathway for counselors to practice under a restricted license. The bill directly affects counselors who might have qualified for this limited license option under the repealed law. The action removes this specific licensing mechanism from state law without creating new requirements or benefits.
