MI HB5284

Allows certified public accountants, real estate appraisers, residential builders, and real estate salespersons/brokers to apply to set aside disciplinary records for one-time failures to complete required continuing education discovered during audits

Applications to set aside disciplinary records may be submitted no sooner than 5 years after sanctions are no longer in force against the licensee

Licensees must demonstrate they have completed the continuing education that was the subject of the violation, had no subsequent disciplinary actions, and have not previously had a disciplinary record set aside

If a disciplinary record is set aside, the department must remove it from the public licensing website, and the licensee may represent that no disciplinary record exists for that matter

Makes technical amendments to CPA continuing education language and provides that the department is not liable for reporting a disciplinary record that was set aside if it was publicly available at the time of the report
