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, pass a qualifying examination, demonstrate good moral character, and document professional experience in architectural work.
Similarly, the requirements for professional engineers and surveyors are revised to state that individuals must have not less than 8 years of professional experience, including up to 5 years of education, provide evidence of a relevant degree, pass necessary examinations, and exhibit good moral character. The language changes emphasize clarity in the qualifications needed for licensure, replacing phrases like "In order" with "An individual shall meet all of the following" to streamline the requirements.
