Occupations: hearing aid; references to hearing aid dealers in use tax act; revise. Amends sec. 2b of 1937 PA 94 (MCL 205.92b). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4883'25
HB 4886 amends the Use Tax Act (MCL 205.92b) to clarify that a "prescription" for hearing aids includes orders from licensed hearing aid dealers or salespersons. This directly affects licensed hearing aid dealers by allowing them to issue prescriptions under tax law, aligning their authority with medical professionals for tax purposes. The change specifically updates the definition of "prescription" in section 2b to include orders from hearing aid dealers licensed under Michigan's occupational code. This is a technical adjustment to the tax code's definitions, not a new tax or benefit.
