Occupations: individual licensing and registration; honorary retiree license; provide for. Amends 2016 PA 407 (MCL 339.5101 - 339.6133) by adding sec. 222.

This bill creates a new "emeritus" license for retired skilled tradespeople in Michigan who previously held a valid license in good standing. To qualify, individuals must apply to the department, confirm their retirement status, and sign a statement agreeing not to practice their trade again. While the license allows them to keep their professional title, it explicitly prevents them from working in the occupation or using any license-related terms without adding the word "emeritus."
