ENROLLED SENATE BILL No. 612

AN ACT to amend 1980 PA 299, entitled “An act to revise, consolidate, and classify the laws of this state regarding the regulation of certain occupations and to regulate certain persons and activities relative to those occupations; to create a board for each of those occupations; to establish the powers and duties of certain departments and agencies and the boards of each occupation; to provide for the promulgation of rules; to provide for certain fees; to provide for penalties and civil fines; to establish rights, relationships, and remedies of certain persons under certain circumstances; to provide immunity from certain civil liability for certain entities and certain related occupations under certain circumstances; to repeal certain parts of this act on a specific date; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts,” by amending section 1108 (MCL 339.1108), as amended by 1988 PA 463.

The People of the State of Michigan enact:

Sec. 1108. (1) The department shall issue a license to practice as a barber to an individual who fulfills all of the following requirements:

(a) Is not less than 17 years of age.

(b) Is of good moral character.

(d) Passes an examination approved by the board and the department.

(e) Has completed the tenth grade of school or has an equivalent education as determined by the department.

(2) The department shall issue a license as a barber to an individual who has held a license as a barber in another state, jurisdiction, or country for 1 out of the 3 years immediately preceding the date of application if the requirements for licensure in the other state, jurisdiction, or country are substantially equivalent to the requirements of subsection (1), as determined by the department. However, the department may deny or limit a license if the applicant has been disciplined or disciplinary action is pending in another state, jurisdiction, or country.

(3) For the purposes of fulfilling the requirement of subsection (1)(c), an individual whose instruction as a barber was received in another state, jurisdiction, or country may substitute experience as a barber or barber apprentice for instruction in the ratio of 3 months of experience for 100 hours of instruction. However, if his or her experience as a barber or barber apprentice was acquired in a country that the department considers a country from which records are not generally available, both of the following apply to the substitution of experience for instruction under this subsection:

(a) He or she may not substitute experience for instruction under this subsection unless he or she provides a signed and notarized attestation detailing his or her experience, including his or her place of employment or apprenticeship, to the department.

(b) He or she may not substitute experience for any of the hours of instruction concerning safety and sanitation, or concerning laws, rules, and regulations, required by the department by rules promulgated under this article.

Enacting section 1. This amendatory act does not take effect unless House Bill No. 5396 of the 97th Legislature is enacted into law.

This act is ordered to take immediate effect.
