Why this matters
Qualifying-experience rules for building inspectors determine who can enter the profession that enforces Michigan’s residential construction standards, affecting both the labor supply for local code enforcement and the pipeline of licensed builders. Loosening or tightening these prerequisites has downstream effects on housing production timelines and on workers moving between construction and inspection roles.
