Occupations: barbers; license to perform services at veteran service organizations; provide for. Amends secs. 1117 & 1217 of 1980 PA 299 (MCL 339.1117 & 339.1217). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4394'25
HB 4395 allows licensed barbers in Michigan to provide hair services at veteran service organizations without needing additional permits. It updates existing barber licensing laws (MCL 339.1117 & 339.1217) to explicitly permit this activity at locations serving veterans. The bill directly affects licensed barbers who may now offer services at these organizations and the veteran service organizations themselves. This change simplifies access to barber services for veterans by removing a previous regulatory barrier. The bill passed the House on June 12, 2025, with strong bipartisan support.

MINOR
The bill text has been updated to reflect a substitute version (H-1) rather than the original House passage version. The substantive content of the law, including the specific sections amended and the text of the provisions, appears to be identical, with changes limited to formatting, spacing, and the removal of internal tracking codes used during the legislative process.
TECHNICAL
Removed internal legislative tracking codes and version identifiers (e.g., 'H01889'25 (H-1)_HB4395_APH_1') that were present in the original House version.
Adjusted whitespace and line breaks in the title and introductory text to align with the substitute version's formatting standards.
