HB 4919 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Occupations: individual licensing and registration; procedure for vacating disciplinary records of certain licensees or registrants; provide for. Amends sec. 539 of 2016 PA 407 (MCL 339.5539).

HB 4919 modifies Michigan's Skilled Trades Regulation Act to help certain licensed professionals clear disciplinary records related to continuing education violations. It requires the licensing department to automatically remove citations for failing continuing education from a person's record 4 years after issuance (starting January 1, 2026), or if the person provides proof they completed the required education. Licensees who have such citations removed may state that no citation exists for that matter. This affects licensed individuals (like contractors or healthcare professionals) who received disciplinary notices for incomplete continuing education. The bill creates a clear, time-bound process for record removal without requiring additional disciplinary action.
