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 fees for individuals seeking licensure as barbers, student barbers, barber instructors, and for operating barbershops and barber colleges. Specifically, the bill establishes a tiered fee structure that varies based on the date of payment, with reduced fees applicable after September 30, 2027. Additionally, it introduces fees for temporary permits to perform services at veteran service organizations, which are set at $20.

The bill also revises the language to replace "a person" with "an individual" in several sections, ensuring clarity in the legal text. It maintains the structure of application processing fees, examination fees, and annual license fees, while also specifying the costs for student registration or transfer and temporary permits. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4395, and it will take effect 180 days after being enacted into law.
