The bill amends the Occupational Code of Michigan, specifically section 2004, to update the licensing requirements for architects, professional engineers, and professional surveyors. For architects, the bill specifies that an individual must provide evidence of completing a first professional degree in architecture or an equivalent as determined by the board of architects. Additionally, it requires passing an examination, demonstrating good moral character, and providing documentation of professional experience in architectural work.

For professional engineers and surveyors, the bill similarly outlines that individuals must meet specific criteria, including not less than 8 years of professional experience (with a maximum of 5 years of education included), completion of an accredited degree or its equivalent, passing relevant examinations, and demonstrating good moral character. The language changes emphasize the need for individuals to meet all outlined requirements to obtain their respective licenses, replacing previous phrasing that suggested these were merely conditions to be met.
