Abstract
(HB4728 · 103rd Legislature) Occupations: individual licensing and registration; licensure of professional guardians and conservators; require. Amends sec. 303a of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.303a) & adds art. 14A. Latest action (2026-06-25): Referred To Committee On Housing And Human Services
Why this matters
Requiring professional guardians and conservators to hold an individual state occupational license would add a new consumer-protection layer for vulnerable adults and minors under court-appointed guardianship in Michigan. It shifts oversight from probate-court-only supervision to also include the state’s occupational licensing regime, which could affect who is able to serve in these roles and the standards they must meet.
