Construction: permits; permit requirements for replacement installation of certain appliances; revise. Amends sec. 10 of 1972 PA 230 (MCL 125.1510).
This bill updates Michigan's construction code to require licensed contractors performing work on residential buildings to include specific license and insurance details on their permit applications. The key provisions mandate that applicants provide their occupational license number, expiration date, and documentation regarding worker's disability compensation insurance or employer identification numbers. Additionally, the bill requires the application forms to include a warning about penalties for conspiring to bypass state licensing rules. These changes primarily affect residential builders, maintenance contractors, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors seeking permits for home improvement projects.
