HB 6176 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Construction: code; building classification of virtual educational and counseling services; modify. Amends 1972 PA 230 (MCL 125.1501 - 125.1531) by adding sec. 4e.

This bill modifies Michigan's construction code to classify buildings housing virtual learning centers as business occupancies rather than educational occupancies. A virtual learning center is defined as an organization that provides educational support, counseling, and administrative services for high school students taking online courses without offering routine in-person instruction. The change directly affects the regulatory category used to classify facilities that support distance learning, ensuring they are treated differently from traditional schools under the state building code.
