Re: Michigan Licensing
Mark,

My statement is based on reading the content of the bill as passed by the legislature and signed by the governor, and ancillary information referred to in the definitions of the bill. The trick may likely be in the interpretation of the fine print by the treasury department. That is, unless the legislature makes more changes. Logic, unfortunately, does not dictate legislation or enforcement. We may not really know how this will all wash out for several months. MichAHI is currently working on this issue. We were successful in keeping home inspections off the list. However, when the bill was passed, "consulting service" was defined using census bureau occupational codes. Several of those codes include the type of adjunct work many home inspectors perform. We would like to see those codes dropped from the definition of "consulting services". For some reason, it does not seem like leadership in Lansing is interested in making anything easy these days. This will not likely be an exception. Stay tuned.
