Occupations: individual licensing and registration; licensing reciprocity under the skilled trades regulation act for certain individuals who hold an out-of-state license; provide for. Amends 2016 PA 407 (MCL 339.5101 - 339.6133) by adding sec. 222.

This bill allows individuals who hold valid out-of-state licenses for skilled trades to obtain Michigan licenses without taking the state's standard examination. To qualify, applicants must prove their foreign license is in good standing, they have held it for at least one year, and they have no history of disciplinary action or pending investigations in their home state. The department may still require applicants to pass an exam on Michigan-specific laws if such an exam is part of the standard licensing process for that trade. Additionally, the bill sets a 90-day deadline for the state to either issue or deny the license application once all documents are received.
