Occupations: individual licensing and registration; licensing of bouncers; provide for. Creates new act. TIE BAR WITH: HB 5061'25

HB 5060 requires bars, nightclubs, and other alcohol-serving establishments to hire bouncers only after they complete mandatory training on preventing positional asphyxiation - a dangerous restraint technique that can restrict breathing. The bill mandates that owners verify this training before employing anyone whose duties might involve physically restraining patrons. The Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards will develop specific training rules, and violations could trigger penalties under Michigan's liquor control laws. The bill's effective date depends on another related bill (HB 5061) also being enacted.
