2. Rule Set Information:  
MOAHR assigned rule set number: 2018-065 LR  
Title of proposed rule set: Barbers – General Rules  
3. Purpose for the proposed rules and background:  
The purpose of the proposed rules is to amend the previously adopted rules to eliminate outdated  
language and create consistency with 1980 PA 299, known as the Occupational Code. Many of the  
rules establishing sanitation and equipment requirements have not been revised since 1991. The  
proposed rules will amend the sanitation and equipment standards to reflect current standards that  
the Board of Barber Examiners considers acceptable for the profession and revise the barber college  
curriculum requirements to add a new subject and adjust the minimum hours of training required in  
each subject.  
4. Summary of proposed rules:  
R 339.6031: This rule pertains to sanitation requirements of a premises used by a licensee. The rule  
will be amended to add work surfaces among the areas that must be kept clean, allow the use of  
plastic bags in waste containers, require keeping waste containers covered, and prohibit locating a  
washbasin that is used to satisfy the sanitation requirements under the rules in a restroom or out of  
view of the work area where services are performed on patrons.  
R 339.6033: This rule pertains to sanitation requirements of tools and equipment. The rule will be  
amended to remove a reference to the Michigan Department of Public Health and replace the United  
States Department of Agriculture with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as  
the federal agency used for determining registration of chemicals that are acceptable for sanitizing  
tools and equipment. The proposed rule will also require maintaining tools and equipment in a  
sanitary and safe condition and storing certain tools and equipment in covered containers.  
R 339.6037: This rule pertains to patron protection requirements. The rule will be amended to  
require disposing of used cloth neck strips in covered containers.

R 339.6041: This rule pertains to barber college construction standards and required equipment. The  
rule will be amended to require adequate toilet facilities to meet the needs of the number of enrolled  
students while eliminating design requirements pertaining to separate facilities for men and women,  
lighting and ventilation, and water supply. In addition, the proposed rule will remove requirements  
for barber schools to provide a chalkboard, a chart of the skin and hair, and a standard dictionary  
and medical dictionary.  
R 339.6047: This rule pertains to curriculum requirements of a barber college. The rule will be  
amended to add state board examination preparation as a new subject and adjusts the required theory  
and practical hours of various subjects. The proposed rule also clarifies that a total of 1,800 hours of  
training is required, which is the minimum amount required under statute.
