The bill amends the Occupational Code of Michigan, specifically sections 303a and 411, to update the terms of office for members of various boards and to clarify the processes surrounding license renewals. Notably, the term of office for board members now commences on specific dates for different professions, such as July 1 for accountancy and January 1 for cosmetology. Additionally, the language regarding the lapse of licenses has been modified to state that a license "lapses" on the day after its expiration date, rather than "shall lapse."

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions that allow individuals who fail to renew their licenses on time to do so within a specified period by paying a late renewal fee. It also outlines the conditions under which a person may be relicensed or reregistered without additional examination or education requirements, provided they meet certain criteria. The bill repeals Article 10 of the Occupational Code and Section 27 of the State License Fee Act, and it establishes a reporting requirement for the department regarding application processing and denials. The amendments are set to take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted into law.
