THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 16152. R 338.2201 to R 338.2207 of the Michigan
administrative code are rescinded.
Sec. 16186. (1) An individual who is licensed to practice a
health profession in another state or, until January 1, 2012, is
licensed to practice a health profession in a province of Canada,
who is registered in another state, or who holds a health
profession specialty field license or specialty certification from
another state and who applies for licensure, registration,
specialty certification, or a health profession specialty field
license in this state may be granted an appropriate license or
registration or specialty certification or health profession
specialty field license upon satisfying the board or task force to
which the applicant applies as to all of the following:
(a) The applicant substantially meets the requirements of this
article and rules promulgated under this article for licensure,
registration, specialty certification, or a health profession
specialty field license.
(b) Subject to subsection (3), the applicant is licensed,
registered, specialty certified, or specialty licensed in another
state or, until January 1, 2012, is licensed in a province in
Canada that maintains standards substantially equivalent to those
of this state.
(c) Subject to subsection (3), until January 1, 2012, if the
applicant is licensed to practice a health profession in a province
in Canada, the applicant completed the educational requirements in
Canada or in the United States for licensure in Canada or in the
United States.
(d) Until January 1, 2012, if the applicant is licensed to
practice a health profession in a province in Canada, that the
applicant will perform the professional services for which he or
she bills in this state, and that any resulting request for third

employment in this state.
(2) Before granting a license, registration, specialty
