The proposed bill establishes the "Michigan Army National Guard and Air National Guard apprenticeship act," which aims to create an apprenticeship program for members of the Michigan Army National Guard and Air National Guard. The program will allow members to apply their military training and experience towards obtaining a certificate of completion for a registered apprenticeship recognized by the United States Department of Labor. The Department of Military and Veterans Affairs will oversee the program, coordinating with various state agencies to ensure that the apprenticeships align with federal standards and that members receive appropriate credit for their on-the-job learning.

The bill outlines the eligibility criteria for members wishing to participate in the program, requiring them to hold compatible military occupational specialties and to be approved by their chain of command. The program is designed to be a no-cost benefit for members, with on-the-job learning occurring during duty hours under supervision. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs promulgate rules to implement the act, ensuring compliance with the administrative procedures act of 1969.
