MI HB5055

Removes the requirement that licensees hold their out-of-state license for at least 1 year, replacing it with a 6-month holding period for non-military applicants under the new section 224

Creates new pathway (section 224) for current Michigan residents to obtain licenses without military or veteran status if they hold a valid out-of-state license in good standing for at least 6 months

Eliminates the requirement that out-of-state licensing standards be "substantially equivalent to or exceed" Michigan requirements, streamlining reciprocity approval

Removes references to "certificates of registration" throughout, specifying licensing requirements apply only to "licenses"

Caps fees for non-military reciprocal applicants at the same amount charged to other applicants seeking the same license under the act
