What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law authorizes the Cosmetology Examining Board (board) to require, by rule, that licensed cosmetologists complete continuing education hours if necessary to preserve the public health, safety, or welfare. This bill provides that any such rule may not require a licensed cosmetologist to complete more than four training hours of instruction in cosmetology every two years for eight years. Under the bill, the board's rules may not require a licensed cosmetologist to complete any continuing education requirements after the licensed cosmetologist has practiced cosmetology for eight years. However, under current law, the board may require continuing education at any time as a part of the disciplinary process for a particular licensed cosmetologist. The bill does not alter that existing power of the board.
Also under current law, DSPS certifies instructors in barbering, cosmetology, aesthetics, electrology, and manicuring. An applicant for certification as an instructor in barbering or cosmetology must, among other things, complete 2,000 hours of practice as a licensed barber or cosmetologist or hold a barbering manager or cosmetology manager license; complete 150 hours of instructor training approved by DSPS; and pass an examination administered by DSPS to determine fitness to act as an instructor in barbering or cosmetology. Under the bill, DSPS must certify an applicant for certification as an instructor in barbering or cosmetology if the applicant either completes 4,000 hours as a licensed barber or cosmetologist or completes 2,000 hours of practice as a licensed barber or cosmetologist in combination with 150 hours of training in appropriate theoretical instruction. The bill eliminates any examination requirement for obtaining certification as an instructor in barbering, cosmetology, aesthetics, electrology, or manicuring.
