HB 4898 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Occupations: individual licensing and registration; boiler repair license; provide for. Amends sec. 941 of 2016 PA 407 (MCL 339.5941) & adds secs. 928, 928a & 928b.

HB 4898 creates specific license classifications for boiler repairers in Michigan, defining what each license class (I through IV and P) can legally repair. It specifies that Class I license holders can work on low-pressure boilers, while Class IV holders can handle nuclear heat source boilers and higher-level repairs. The bill requires all boiler repair work to be performed by a licensed individual or under their supervision, updating permit requirements under Section 941 to mandate proper licensing. This directly affects boiler repair workers, contractors, and businesses needing to comply with these new licensing standards for boiler maintenance and repairs.

MINOR
The bill text was completely replaced with a webpage listing of other bills in the Michigan Legislature Rules Committee, rather than containing the actual legislative text for HB 4898. This appears to be a formatting error where the bill's substantive content was removed and replaced with a navigation page showing committee records for other legislation.

All substantive legislative text defining boiler repairer license classifications (Classes I, III, IV, V, P), requirements for nuclear boiler work, and scope of work for each license class was removed.

A webpage listing of other bills in the Rules Committee was added instead of the actual bill content.

The original bill's purpose statement amending 2016 PA 407 to regulate skilled trades was removed.
