Official record

House Fiscal Agency Analysis

House Bill 4604 would amend the Chapter 20 of the Occupational Code, which currently requires that at least 2/3 the principals of a firm engaging in the practice of architecture, professional engineering, or professional surveying in Michigan be licensed under the act. The act also requires LARA to approve unlicensed principals. The bill would provide that these requirements do not apply to a design-builder as defined in House Bill 4603.
