Senate Bill 953 (as introduced 12-5-07)
Sponsor: Senator Gretchen Whitmer
Committee: Economic Development and Regulatory Reform
Date Completed: 12-11-07
CONTENT
The bill would amend Article 12 (Cosmetology) of the Occupational Code to allow a senior cosmetology student who had completed certain educational requirements to perform shampoo services on members of the public in a cosmetology establishment.
The Code prohibits an individual from rendering any form of cosmetology services (hair care, skin care, manicuring, or hair removal by the use of electricity), without a license issued under Article 12, on any individual other than a member of his or her immediate family. Under the bill, that prohibition would not apply to a currently registered senior cosmetology student performing shampoo services on members of the public in a cosmetology establishment, as long as the student had done both of the following:
-- Completed the 350 hours of instruction required under Article 12 for a school of cosmetology or a cosmetology establishment conducting an apprenticeship program to permit a cosmetology student or apprentice to practice on the public.
-- Met the academic requirements regarding courses in client safety, sanitation, bacteriology, hair and scalp disorders, scalp manipulations, and proper shampooing procedure.
A cosmetology establishment employing a cosmetology senior student for the purpose of rendering shampoo services would have to require from the student proof, acceptable to the establishment, of current registration as a cosmetology senior student and completion of the 350 hours of instruction. The establishment would have to keep the records on file for at least three years after the end of the employment relationship and would have to allow the Department of Labor and Economic Growth access to the records.
