Occupations: cosmetologists; record retention requirements for cosmetology schools; revise. Amends sec. 1205a of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.1205a).

This bill updates Michigan's regulations for cosmetology schools and apprenticeship programs to ensure proper oversight and training standards. It requires owners to maintain detailed records of student attendance, enrollment, and grades, which must be shared with the state department monthly. The legislation also mandates that apprentices complete a minimum number of instructional hours before practicing on the public and must have proof of high school education before starting training. Additionally, the bill prohibits charging fees for teaching apprentices and limits the number of apprentices trained simultaneously to two per establishment. These changes aim to clarify administrative requirements and protect the quality of cosmetology education in the state.
