The bill amends the Occupational Code of Michigan, specifically sections 303a and 411, to update the terms of office for board members and the procedures for license renewal. It establishes that the term of office for appointed board members will commence on specific dates depending on the profession, such as Accountancy in July and Architects in April. Additionally, the bill modifies the language regarding license expiration, stating that a license lapses the day after its expiration date, and allows individuals to renew their licenses within 60 days after expiration by paying a late renewal fee.

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions for relicensing or reregistration without examination for individuals who fail to renew their licenses within the specified time frame, provided they meet certain conditions, such as applying within three years of expiration and completing required continuing education. It also mandates that the department issue licenses or registrations within 90 days of receiving a completed application and outlines the process for applicants to receive notifications regarding incomplete applications. The bill repeals Article 13 of the Occupational Code and Section 31 of the State License Fee Act, streamlining the regulatory framework for occupational licensing in Michigan.
