A bill to amend 1980 PA 299, entitled “Occupational code,” by amending sections 1201 and 1210 (MCL 339.1201 and 339.1210), section 1201 as amended by 2020 PA 20 and section 1210 as amended by 1997 PA 97.
House Bill No. 5684 aims to update the 1980 PA 299, known as the "Occupational Code," specifically revising sections 1201 and 1210 to modernize the cosmetology sector. This bill seeks to refine the definitions and regulations for various roles within the sector, such as apprentices, cosmetologists, electrologists, estheticians, instructors, and manicurists, and addresses the classification of cosmetology establishments, including mobile salons and cosmetology suites. It expands the scope of cosmetology services to include hair care, skin care, manicuring, and electrology, detailing where these services can be provided, like in mobile salons and clients' homes. The bill introduces new terms and roles, such as "natural hair cultivation" and "natural hair culturist," with specific educational and licensing requirements for estheticians. It also outlines permissible skin care services, emphasizing their non-invasive nature and compliance with public health codes for medical waste disposal. Additionally, the bill sets guidelines for eyebrow and eyelash services, facial cupping, and restricts the use of devices emitting electromagnetic radiation above certain wavelengths to ensure safety in skin care services. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of related legislation.
