Occupations: cosmetologists; branch facilities for a school of cosmetology; provide for. Amends 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.101 - 339.2677) by adding sec. 1205b.

This bill allows cosmetology schools to operate training classrooms in separate locations from their main facilities, provided they meet specific safety and staffing standards. To qualify, the new site must be owned by the same licensed school, display all necessary licenses visibly, and be staffed only by instructors with at least three years of experience. The proposed classroom cannot offer services to the public or contain equipment like styling chairs or hair-drying stations, and it must pass a department inspection before opening. Additionally, the license for these separate classrooms becomes invalid if the facility is sold, transferred, or moved to a new address. The state department is required to create detailed rules to enforce these requirements within 18 months of the bill's effective date.
