MI HB5955

Allows schools to offer manicuring services as an independent, limited license rather than requiring them to be part of a full cosmetology school.

Permits schools teaching only electrology or manicuring services to meet all standard requirements except daily supervision can be provided by an electrology or manicuring instructor instead of a general cosmetology instructor.

Requires limited schools to maintain only equipment and facilities necessary for teaching their specific service (electrology or manicuring) rather than full cosmetology equipment.

Establishes that any cosmetology establishment charging fees for teaching cosmetology or cosmetology services must comply with school licensing requirements, including $10,000 bond and curriculum standards.

Maintains existing requirements for apprenticeship programs, including student attendance limits (7 hours/day or 40 hours/week), monthly attendance reporting, grading, and minimum 350 hours of instruction before public practice.
