The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs will hold a public hearing to receive public  
comments on proposed changes to the Electrical Administrative Board General Rules rule set.  
The Skilled Trades Regulation Act, 2016 PA 407, repealed the Electrical Administrative Act, 1956 PA 217,  
MCL 338.881 to 338.892. The Electrical Administrative Act is outdated and does not provide uniform  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 Electrical Administrative Act and creates an inefficient use of  
resources. Additionally, many licensees who are cross-licensed in multiple trades have expressed  
dissatisfaction with conflicting provisions in separate statutes. The Skilled Trades Regulation Act, PA 407  
of 2016, streamlines the processes for all license types included while providing for modernized  
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  
Electrical Administrative Act was repealed, the bureau plans to rescind the licensing rules promulgated  
under the Act and create a new rule set to house all licensing rules regulation under the Skilled Trades  
Regulation Act, including the Electrical Administrative Board General Rules.  
By authority conferred promulgation of the electrical administrative board general rules is authorized  
under section 207 of the Skilled Trades Regulation Act, 2016 PA 407, MCL 339.5207; and Executive  
Reorganization Order Nos. 2003-1, 2008-4, and 2011-4, MCL 445.2011, 445.2025 and 445.2030. This  
authority replaces the previous authority under 1956 PA 217, MCL 338.881 to 338.892.  
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.
