This bill amends the State License Fee Act of 1979 by updating the fees associated with various licenses and permits for barbers and cosmetologists in Michigan. Key changes include the introduction of new fee structures for individuals seeking licensure as barbers, student barbers, barber instructors, and those operating barbershops or barber colleges. Specifically, the bill establishes application processing fees, examination fees, and annual license fees, with a notable reduction in fees for many categories if paid after September 30, 2027. Additionally, it introduces temporary permit fees for services at veteran service organizations.

The bill also revises the licensing fees for cosmetologists, manicurists, natural hair culturists, estheticians, and electrologists, aligning them with the new fee structure for barbers. It includes provisions for application processing fees, examination fees, and annual license fees, with similar reductions for payments made after the specified date. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that it will take effect 180 days after being enacted and will only do so if House Bill No. 4395 is also enacted into law.
