Abstract
(SB1057 · 103rd Legislature) Occupations: individual licensing and registration; preliminary determination process for certain applicants seeking licensure or registration; modify. Amends secs. 202, 203 & 217 of 2016 PA 407 (MCL 339.5202 et seq.). Latest action (2026-06-23): Referred To Committee On Regulatory Affairs
Why this matters
The preliminary determination process lets prospective applicants — often people with criminal records or other potentially disqualifying history — learn before investing in training whether they will be eligible for an occupational license, which affects labor market entry across dozens of regulated trades and professions. Incremental modifications to how this process works can materially expand or contract access to licensed occupations in Michigan. The bill is at introduction, so specific changes to timelines, criteria, or reviewability remain to be evaluated.
