The bill amends the Occupational Code of Michigan, specifically sections 1101, 1111, and 1112, to update definitions and regulations related to barbers and barbershops. Key changes include the clarification of terms such as "barber," "barber college," and "barbershop," with a shift from using "person" to "individual" in various definitions. The bill introduces the concept of a "mobile barbershop," defining it as a vehicle or device used to provide barber services at different locations, including clients' homes. Additionally, it mandates that barbershops must be completely partitioned from residential spaces and outlines the requirements for licensing, inspections, and the display of licenses.

Furthermore, the bill requires the board to establish rules for sanitation standards in barbershops and barber colleges, as well as specific regulations for mobile barbershops within one year of the bill's enactment. These rules will address safety requirements, record-keeping, and compliance enforcement to ensure that mobile barbershops meet the same standards as traditional establishments. Overall, the amendments aim to modernize the barbering profession in Michigan and enhance public health and safety standards.
