HB 4916 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

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

HB 4916 amends Michigan's licensure requirements for architects, professional engineers, and surveyors by updating the wording of Section 2004 in the Occupational Code. The bill clarifies existing standards without changing the core requirements: applicants must still provide proof of education, pass exams, demonstrate professional experience, and maintain good moral character. For example, architects must show completion of a professional degree and pass a licensing exam, while engineers and surveyors must document 8 years of experience (including up to 5 years of education) and pass relevant exams. This is a technical language update to the current law, not a policy change affecting the qualifications or process for these professions. The bill is pending in the Education and Workforce Committee after introduction on September 11, 2025.
