The bill amends the Occupational Code of Michigan, specifically section 2403, to clarify the circumstances under which individuals can engage in the business of residential building or maintenance without a license. It outlines several categories of individuals who are exempt from licensing requirements, including authorized representatives of government entities, property owners working on their own properties, and individuals performing work under contract with licensed builders. Notably, the bill introduces a new exemption for individuals who engage solely in the business of sanding floors.

Additionally, the bill makes several grammatical adjustments, such as changing "that" to "who" in reference to licensed electrical, plumbing, and mechanical contractors. It also specifies that the exemptions for these contractors apply only to the specific types of work they are licensed to perform. The bill aims to streamline regulations while ensuring that certain essential services can be provided without the burden of licensing, thereby promoting efficiency in the residential construction and maintenance sectors.
