Occupations: individual licensing and registration; licensing reciprocity under the occupational code for certain individuals who hold an out-of-state license; provide for. Amends 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.101 - 339.2677) by adding sec. 216.

This bill allows Michigan to issue occupational licenses without requiring individuals to take new exams if they already hold valid licenses in other states. To qualify, applicants must prove their out-of-state license has been active for at least one year, they passed any required exams, and they have no history of disciplinary action or pending complaints related to unprofessional conduct. The department retains the option to require a state-specific law exam and must process these applications within 90 days. This measure aims to streamline licensing for professionals moving between states while maintaining standards for public safety and professional conduct.
