Occupations: architects, professional engineers, and surveyors; requirements for firms in the practice of architecture, professional engineering, or professional surveying; modify. Amends sec. 2010 of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.2010).

HB 4914 modifies Michigan's requirements for firms practicing architecture, engineering, or surveying. It changes the rule so that firms with nonlicensed owners (e.g., business partners who aren't licensed professionals) must first get approval from the state licensing department, instead of requiring two-thirds of all firm owners to be licensed. The bill also adds new reporting obligations for firms to provide the department with details about their owners, key staff, and other relevant information. Additionally, it requires firms to have a qualified "person in responsible charge" at every office location where services are provided, except for limited field offices that only review construction. These changes directly affect licensed professional firms operating in Michigan.
