applicable to the same activity or subject matter. This section should include a discussion of the efforts undertaken
by the agency to avoid or minimize duplication.

standard, provide a statement of specific facts that establish the clear and convincing need to adopt the more
stringent rules.
MCL 24.232(8) does not apply.
5. If MCL 24.232(9) applies and the proposed rules are more stringent than the applicable federal standard,

Purpose and Objectives of the Rule(s)
6. Identify the behavior and frequency of behavior that the proposed rules are designed to alter.
Part 1 General Provisions: The current rule in this part provides definitions for terms used in the rule set. Several
current rule numbers that should be included in Part 1 of the rules contain rules that pertain to education and
examination or licensure. The rule numbers will be moved to Part 1, those current rules related to education and
examination or licensure will be rescinded, and the substance of those rules will be moved to a new rule number
within the Part of the rules where they should be located to comply with current drafting requirements and for
organization and clarity. The proposed rules are intended to assist a licensee in complying with the requirements for
licensure or license renewal.
Part 2 Education and Examination: The proposed rules in this part identify the approved educational programs and
examination. The accreditation standards will be updated to assist an applicant in identifying the educational
programs approved by the department. Several current rule numbers that should be included in Part 2 of the rules
contain rules that pertain to relicensure, license renewal, and continuing education. Those rules pertaining to
relicensure, license renewal, and continuing education will be rescinded, and the substance of those rules will be
moved to new rule numbers within the Parts of the rules where they should be located to comply with current drafting
requirements and for organization and clarity. The proposed rules are intended to assist a licensee in complying with
the education and examination requirements for licensure.
Part 3 Licensure: The proposed rules in this part identify the requirements for licensure, licensure by endorsement,
and relicensure. The proposed rules do not change the substance of rules currently contained in this rule set. Rather,
the substance of these rules is currently contained in rule numbers that should be included in either Part 1 or Part 2 of
the rules. The proposed rules renumbering will comply with current drafting rule requirements and will provide
organization and clarity within the rule set. The proposed rules are intended to assist a licensee in complying with the
requirements for licensure.
Part 4 License Renewal Standards, Continuing Education, Sanctions for Failure to Complete Continuing Education:
The proposed rules in this part identify standards for license renewal, identify approved continuing education
providers and activities, and provide sanctions for failure to satisfy continuing education requirements for renewal.
The proposed rules add the procedure to be used if a licensee is requesting a waiver of the continuing education
requirements for license renewal. The remainder of the new rules do not change the substance of rules currently
contained in this rule set. Rather, the substance of these rules is currently contained in rule numbers that should be
included in either Part 2 or Part 3 of the rules. The proposed rules renumbering will comply with current drafting rule
requirements and will provide organization and clarity within the rule set. The proposed rules are intended to assist a
licensee in complying with the requirements for license renewal.
