Abstract
(HB6060 · 103rd Legislature) Health occupations: health professionals; reciprocity for individuals who hold an out-of-state license or registration; modify. Amends secs. 16186 & 16186a of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.16186 & 333.16186a). Latest action (2026-06-10): Bill Electronically Reproduced 06/09/2026
Why this matters
Reciprocity rules determine how quickly out-of-state health professionals can begin practicing in Michigan, directly affecting healthcare workforce supply and labor mobility. Adjustments to MCL 333.16186 and 16186a can lower or raise barriers for licensed workers relocating to the state, with downstream effects on employer hiring and staffing shortages. The change fits alongside Michigan’s broader push through interstate compacts and general licensing reciprocity to streamline credential recognition.
