The bill amends the Occupational Code of Michigan, specifically section 2010, to update the requirements for firms engaging in the practices of architecture, professional engineering, or professional surveying. It introduces new language clarifying that a firm may operate in these fields without the previous requirement that at least two-thirds of the firm's principals be licensed. Instead, a nonlicensed principal must now apply for and receive approval from the department to engage in these practices, provided that the firm's conduct complies with departmental rules.

Additionally, the bill modifies reporting requirements by changing the language regarding the information firms must provide to the department. It specifies that firms must report the names and addresses of their principals and other relevant personnel upon request. The bill also clarifies that firms must employ a person in responsible charge at each business location, with an exception for field offices that only conduct construction reviews.
