Summary of HB 4693: Cosmetology Licensing Fee Modifications

Bill Overview

This bill, titled "Occupations: cosmetologists; cosmetology licensing fees; modify", seeks to amend sections of the Michigan Occupational Code relating to cosmetology licensing fees. The bill was introduced on March 12, 2025 and has since been recommended for concurrence.

Key Provisions

The main changes proposed by HB 4693 include:

  1. Modifying Cosmetology Licensing Fees: The bill would amend Section 9 of Public Act 152 of 1979 to adjust the licensing fees for various cosmetology-related occupations, including:

    • Cosmetologists
    • Manicurists
    • Estheticians
    • Electrologists
    • Instructors

  2. Tying to HB 4692: This bill is tied to HB 4692, which deals with other aspects of cosmetology regulation and licensing.

Potential Impact

If enacted, this legislation would directly impact:

  • Individuals seeking to obtain or renew licenses for cosmetology-related occupations in Michigan, as their licensing fees would change.
  • The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), which oversees cosmetology licensing and would be responsible for implementing the new fee structure.

The bill does not provide specific details on the extent or direction of the fee changes, so the full financial impact on both license holders and the state is unclear from the legislation text alone.

Procedural Details

  • This bill was introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives on March 12, 2025.
  • It has since been recommended for concurrence, indicating it has cleared initial legislative hurdles and is moving towards potential final passage.
  • As the bill is tied to HB 4692, the two pieces of legislation would likely advance through the legislative process together.

Overall, HB 4693 represents a targeted update to cosmetology licensing fees in Michigan, though the full scope and motivation behind the changes is not entirely clear from the bill text alone. Further examination of the legislative history and intent would be needed to fully assess the bill's potential impact.
