Occupations: cosmetologists; branch facilities for a school of cosmetology; provide for. Amends 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.101 - 339.2677) by adding sec. 1205b. TIE BAR WITH: HB 4693'25

HB 4692 creates a new license for "secondary school facilities" that provide cosmetology training in separate classroom settings, directly affecting cosmetology schools and their associated training locations. These facilities must not offer public services or contain equipment like hair-drying chairs, must be staffed by licensed instructors with 3+ years' experience, and require detailed floor plans and department inspections. License holders must display their license and instructor credentials visibly, and the license becomes void if ownership changes or the location shifts, requiring a new application. The bill also mandates the department to create implementing rules within 18 months of enactment.
