OMG, no license required. Is that really true? I'm all for licensing. More skilled and educated workers is the way to go, .. better pay, quality of work and safety.
I'm sure most people feel the way you do.

I think are licensing requirements in Michigan are... you must be a Master electrician to pull permits, and there must be atleast 1 journeyman on the jobsite. I think its 1 journeyman for every 2 apprentices, but thats never enforced. Except by the union.
Apprentices are also suppose to register with the state.
Recently, it was the city or counties job to deal with electrical licensing, but the state has now taken over. The state has also written, a michigan electrical code book.
