Occupations: architects, professional engineers, and surveyors; licensing requirements for architects; modify to allow apprenticeships. Amends sec. 2004 of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.2004).

HB 4913 modifies Michigan's licensing requirements for architects by allowing apprenticeships to count toward the required professional experience. Currently, applicants must document "professional experience in architectural work" to become licensed; this bill would update that requirement to explicitly permit apprenticeship programs as acceptable documentation. The change directly affects aspiring architects seeking licensure in Michigan, particularly those in training programs. It does not alter existing requirements for professional engineers or surveyors, which remain unchanged in the bill text. This is a concrete policy adjustment to streamline entry into the architectural profession.
