COSMETOLOGY LICENSURE - H.B. 4220 (S-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS

House Bill 4220 (Substitute S-1 as reported)

Sponsor: Representative Ilona Varga

House Committee: Regulatory Affairs

Senate Committee: Economic Development, International Trade and Regulatory Affairs

CONTENT

The bill would amend the State License Fee Act to specify that the license fees for estheticians would be the same as those in current law for cosmetologists, manicurists, and electrologists, i.e., an application processing fee of $10; an examination fee of $25; and an annual license fee of $12.

The bill is tie-barred to House Bill 4219, which would amend the Occupational Code to establish licensure requirements for estheticians and revise licensure provisions concerning cosmetologists.

MCL 338.2225 - Legislative Analyst: S. Margules

FISCAL IMPACT

The current fee structure established for cosmetologists and manicurists would be applied to this new profession for examinations, applications, and license renewals. According to the Department of Consumer and Industry Services, it is difficult to determine how many additional licenses this change would generate, but the additional revenue these fees generated would be used to offset the additional administrative costs incurred by the Department for the regulation of this occupation.
