The bill amends the Occupational Code of Michigan, specifically section 2004, to update the requirements for individuals seeking licensure as architects, professional engineers, and professional surveyors. For architects, the bill clarifies that an individual must meet specific criteria, including providing evidence of a professional degree in architecture, passing a qualifying examination, demonstrating good moral character, and documenting professional experience in architectural work. Similar updates are made for professional engineers and surveyors, emphasizing the need for not less than 8 years of professional experience (including education), completion of relevant degrees, passing required examinations, and maintaining good moral character.

The amendments replace the phrase "In order" with "An individual shall meet all of the following" to streamline the language and clarify the requirements for licensure. Additionally, the bill specifies that the professional experience required for engineers and surveyors must include not less than 8 years, rather than at least 8 years, further refining the criteria for licensure in these professions. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the clarity and precision of the licensing requirements for these occupations in Michigan.
