Occupations: licensing fees; permit fee for barbers and cosmetologists to operate outside of a licensed facility for veterans; establish. Amends secs. 17 & 25 of 1979 PA 152 (MCL 338.2217 & 338.2225). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4395'25
HB 4394 creates a new permit fee for barbers and cosmetologists to provide services to veterans outside their regular licensed facilities. It amends Michigan's State License Fee Act to establish this specific permit, allowing licensed professionals to offer mobile services for veterans without needing a full facility license. The bill directly affects licensed beauty professionals seeking to serve veterans in non-traditional settings, such as veteran centers or homes. This provision adds a targeted fee structure for these off-site veteran services while maintaining existing licensing requirements.
