This page is provided to give you correct information about different information published on the internet that is not completely correct. Also you want to remember that these are the same people who guarantee you pass the test. We have been in the business for over well over 20 years. We have our own construction crews, operated a Training company where we did hands-on training in how to build a house and how to remodel a house. And we have been aiding people to pass the Michigan Builders Test for over 20 years. We know the LAW and we know contruction. We also know the test. Most of the sites tell you the cost of your license $105.00. Which is $15.00 Non-refundable application processing fee, $40.00 for your license, $50.00 they either SAY ONE TIME DEPOSIT OR LIFE TIME DEPOSIT INTO THE CONSTRUCTION LIEN RECOVERY FUND. The fee for the Construction Lien Fund is not correct. If these people EVEN HAD A BUILDERS LICENSE they would know we had to make another payment into the Construction Lien Recovery Fund in 1999. We have excerpted Part of the Laws for you and included it on this page for you. Excerpted from ACT 497, 1980 PART 2 570.1201 Homeowner construction lien recovery fund; creation; assessment charges; additional assessment or payment; recovery from fund; condition; maximum assessment. Sec. 201. (1) A homeowner construction lien recovery fund is created within the department of CIS. The fund shall be self-supporting and shall consist of assessments charged in the following manner: (a) Except as provided in subsection (4), when applying for renewal licensure for 1982 and when applying for initial licensure, each of the following persons shall be assessed in addition to the license fee, a fee of $50.00 for deposit in the fund: (i) A person applying for a residential builders license or a residential maintenance and alteration contractor's license under article 24 of the occupational code, Act No. 299 of the Public Acts of 1980, as amended, being sections 339.2401 to 339.2412 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. (ii) A person applying for an electrical contractor's license under the electrical administrative act, Act No. 217 of the Public Acts of 1956, as amended, being sections 338.881 to 338.892 of the Michigan Compiled Laws. (iii) A person applying for an authorized master plumber's license under Act No. 266 of the Public Acts of 1929, as amended, being sections 338.901 to 338.917 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, which license authorizes the securing of plumbing installation permits. (iv) A person applying for a license under the mechanical contractors act. (b) A laborer who seeks to recover from the fund shall not be required to pay a fee until he or she obtains a recovery from the fund, at which time a fee of $15.00 shall be withheld by the fund from the laborer's final recovery. However, in no event shall the total amount withheld by the fund from a laborer in a 1-year period exceed $50.00. (c) Except for persons described in subdivisions (a) and (b), all other lien claimants may become members of the fund by paying a fee of $50.00 prior to the date of the lien claimant's contract for the improvement to the residential structure. A lien claimant under this subdivision shall not pay a fee of more than $50.00 in a calendar year. (2) If, on December 1 of any year, the balance in the fund is less than $1,000,000.00, the director of CIS may require an additional assessment or payment, not to exceed $50.00, from each of the persons described in subsection (1)(a) and (c), unless, within 30 legislative days after the director requires an additional assessment, the legislature, by majority vote of the members elected and serving in both houses by record roll call vote, adopts a concurrent resolution to prohibit the additional assessment. As used in this subsection “legislative day” means a day on which the senate and house is called to order and a quorum of the senate and house is present. (3) A person shall not be entitled to recover from the fund unless he or she has paid into the fund as required by this section. (4) Notwithstanding subsection (1)(a), a person shall not be assessed more than $50.00 in an assessment period regardless of the number of licenses applied for or held. History: 1980, Act 497, Eff.

Popular Name: Act 299 One of the site has sample questions and one of the questions is The Occupational Code defines the Department as? a. Department of Labor b. Department of Attorney General c. Department of Licensing and Regulation d. Department of HUD The answer out of those would be c. Department of Licensing and Regulation. Guess what we haven't had a Department of Licensing and Regulation in I belive well over 10 years. We are in the Bureau of Occupational and Professional Regulation within the Department of DL&EG. I'll get nasty E-Mails saying I am bad mouthing their companies. I am not I am just informing the people with the correct information. In a few days I will have a new webpage giving you more information. I am not even afraid to use my name /s/ Ed Killian
