Board of Mechanical Rules
The Board of Mechanical Rules was created by 2016 PA 407. The board makes recommendations for mechanical code rules, issues mechanical contractor's licenses to qualified applicants, and makes all orders, rules, and regulations necessary for enforcement of the provisions of the act. Of the 15 members of the board, 14 are appointed by the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate, to serve 2-year terms. Upon expiration of a term, a member may continue to serve until a successor is appointed. One board member is the state fire marshal or his/her designee.
To view current board members or if interested in serving on this board, apply at the Governor's Appointments Page. If you are interested in serving on this board, apply at Appointments (michigan.gov).
