The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs will hold a public hearing to receive public  
comments on proposed changes to the Building Officials, Plan Reviewers, and Inspector Rules rule set.  
The Skilled Trades Regulation Act, 2016 PA 407, repealed the Building Officials and Inspectors  
Registration Act, 1986 PA 54, MCL 338.2301 to 338.2313. The repealed Building Officials and  
Inspectors Registration Act is outdated and does not provide uniform licensing, complaint investigation,  
and enforcement provisions for skilled trades licenses. This places a burden on the bureau  
administering the Building Officials and Inspectors Registration Act and creates an inefficient use of  
resources. Additionally, many licensees who are cross-licensed in multiple trades have expressed  
dissatisfaction with conflicting provisions, such as electronic communication and third-party continuing  
education tracking options and specifies violations for unlicensed activity as provided to other regulated  
professions. Because the Building Officials and Inspectors Registration Act was repealed, the bureau  
plans to rescind the licensing rules regulated under the Skilled Trades Regulation Act, including the  
building officials, plan reviewers, and inspectors’ rules.  
By authority conferred, these rules were promulgated under, the Building Officials, Plan Reviewers and  
Inspectors rules and is authorized under section 207 of the Skilled Trades Regulation Act, 2016 PA 407,  
MCL 339.5207; Executive Reorganization Nos. 2003-1, 2008-4, and 2011-4, MCL 445.2011, 445.2025  
and 445.2030. This authority replaces the previous authority under 1986 PA 54, MCL 338.2301 to MCL  
338.2313.  
The proposed rules will take effect 7 days after filing with the Secretary of State. The proposed rules are  
published on the State of Michigan's website at www.michigan.gov/ARD and in the 5/15/2022 issue of  
the Michigan Register. Copies of these proposed rules may also be obtained by mail or electronic mail at  
the following email address: LARA-BCC-Rules@michigan.gov.  
Comments on these proposed rules may be made at the hearing, by mail, or by electronic mail at the  
following addresses until 5/23/2022 at 05:00PM.
