2016 Senate Bill 818 ↩

Senate Roll Call 166: Passed

To exempt yoga teacher training schools from a <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2009-SB-786">state licensure mandate</a> imposed on private trade-schools (“proprietary schools”), with annual fees, government inspections, regulations and more. A Senate Fiscal Agency <a href="http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2015-2016/billanalysis/Senate/htm/2015-SFA-0818-A.htm">analysis</a> notes that many people take yoga teaching classes just for the experience, and that "the regulations reportedly have created a business environment that deters...offering or expanding instruction programs".
