The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs will hold a public hearing to receive public  
comments on proposed changes to the Cosmetology -- General Rules rule set.  
The proposed rules will inform applicants of the requirements for licensure, relicensure, and licensure by  
endorsement, update curriculum, operational standards, and sanitation standards, and make revisions  
for clarity. The rule pertaining to branch facility licensure will be amended to sunset the license because  
it is not authorized by statute. Additionally, new rules will be added to comply with statutory changes,  
such as providing the requirements for the operation of mobile salons and setting the criteria to permit  
some hours of instruction earned by a Michigan-licensed barber in a state barber college to be  
substituted for required courses in a cosmetology student’s educational program.  
By authority conferred on the department and the board by MCL 339.205, 339.308, 339.1203, 339.1205,  
339.1207, 339.1208, 339.1209, and 339.1210, and Executive Reorganization Order Nos. 1991-9, 1996-  
2, 2003-1, and 2011-4, MCL 338.3501, 445.2001, 445.2011, and 445.2030. The proposed rules will take  
effect immediately after filing with the Secretary of State. The proposed rules are published on the State  
of Michigan web site at http://www.michigan.gov/ARD and in the Michigan Register in the 5/15/2021  
issue. Copies of these proposed rules may also be obtained by mail or electronic transmission at the
