Bill > HB4911

This bill amends Michigan's Occupational Code to formally recognize and regulate mobile barbershops, expanding the definition of barbershops to include mobile businesses. The bill defines a mobile barbershop as either a self-contained vehicle with installed barbering equipment or a business that transports equipment to perform services at different locations like another barbershop or a client's home. Key provisions include requiring mobile barbershops to meet the same licensing and sanitation standards as traditional barbershops, with the board responsible for developing specific rules for mobile operations within one year of the bill's enactment. The bill also updates language throughout the existing law, replacing terms like "person" with "individual" and clarifying existing definitions related to barbers, barbershops, and related professionals. Additionally, the bill mandates that mobile barbershop operators maintain a permanent address for record-keeping purposes, including appointment records, employee license numbers, and vehicle identification information. The changes aim to provide a clear regulatory framework for mobile barbering businesses while ensuring public safety and maintaining professional standards.
