Michigan Compiled Laws, Chapter 338. Professions and Occupations § 338.3434a

Sec. 4a. (1) In order to facilitate the enforcement and administration of this act and as required to comply with federal law, an occupational regulatory agency shall require each applicant for a license or renewal of a license to include his or her social security number on the application form. An occupational regulatory agency shall not issue or renew a license unless the applicant's social security number is on file with the occupational regulatory agency as required to comply with federal law. An occupational regulatory agency shall not display a licensee's social security number on the licensee's occupational license.

(2) A person shall not intentionally disclose, in a manner not authorized by law or rule, a social security number collected as required by this section. A violation of this subsection is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 90 days or a fine of not more than $500.00, or both. A second or subsequent violation of this subsection is a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 4 years or a fine of not more than $2,000.00, or both.

(3) A requirement under this section to include a social security number on an application does not apply to an applicant who demonstrates he or she is exempt under law from obtaining a social security number or to an applicant who for religious convictions is exempt under law from disclosure of his or her social security number under these circumstances. The occupational regulatory agency shall inform the applicant of this possible exemption.
