Abstract
(HB4959 · 103rd Legislature) Occupations: individual licensing and registration; fee for professional guardian and professional conservator; provide for. Amends 1979 PA 152 (MCL 338.2201 - 338.2277) by adding sec. 38b. Latest action (2026-06-25): Referred To Committee On Housing And Human Services
Why this matters
Adding a statutory fee for professional guardian and conservator licensure operationalizes the funding side of Michigan’s emerging licensure regime for those who serve vulnerable adults and minors under guardianship or conservatorship. Fee levels affect who can afford to enter or remain in the profession, which in turn shapes the safety-net capacity for legally incapacitated individuals relying on public and court-appointed guardians.
