Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Barbering and Cosmetology Examining Board (board) to
require all licensed cosmetologists, barbers, aestheticians, electrologists, and
manicurists (licensees) to attend a course in recognizing victims of domestic abuse
or violence and referring the victims to appropriate agencies for assistance. The bill
requires the board to design a course, determine how often the licensees are required
to attend, and design a training program that would allow licensees who have
attended the course to train others.
