This bill amends the Occupational Code of Michigan, specifically section 202, to update the process for applicants seeking licensure or registration. It changes the terminology from "application" to "applicant" and requires that applicants submit their applications on a form provided by the department, which must include their full legal name. Additionally, the bill specifies that applicants must pay the appropriate fees as described in article 4. The department is tasked with issuing licenses or registrations to individuals who meet the licensing or registration requirements outlined in the specific articles and rules of the act, while also adhering to any limitations imposed under section 203.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the expiration date of licenses or registrations will be established by the department through rules promulgated under section 205, and it explicitly states that these rules must not allow for the issuance of permanent licenses or registrations. This amendment aims to streamline the application process and ensure that licensing regulations are clear and consistent.
