Abstract
(SB1055 · 103rd Legislature) Health: licensing; preliminary determination process for certain applicants seeking licensure or registration; modify. Amends secs. 16174a & 16241 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16174a & 333.16241). Latest action (2026-06-23): Referred To Committee On Regulatory Affairs
Why this matters
The preliminary determination process lets prospective health professionals — often those with prior criminal history or other disqualifying factors — learn before investing in training whether they will be eligible for licensure. Modifications to this process affect the accessibility of Michigan’s health workforce pipeline and could expand or narrow who can enter regulated health occupations.
