4barbering, cosmetology, and related professions.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill permits the practice of cosmetology, aesthetics, manicuring, and
barbering outside of a licensed establishment if a person licensed to engage in that
practice owns, manages, is employed by, or is affiliated with an establishment
licensed to provide that service. Under current law, the Cosmetology Examining
Board, in the case of cosmetology, aesthetics, and manicuring, and the Department
of Safety and Professional Services, in the case of barbering, are authorized to
promulgate rules permitting those practices outside of a licensed establishment only
for services provided to persons who are homebound or in a hospital, nursing home,
correctional institution, or other institution.
The bill also eliminates the separate licensure of cosmetology managers and
barbering managers. Managers of cosmetology establishments and barbering
establishments are required to ensure that those establishments operate in
compliance with laws and rules regulating the provision of cosmetology and
barbering services. Under the bill, a licensed cosmetologist must be designated as
the manager, required to ensure such compliance, of a cosmetology establishment,
and either a licensed cosmetologist or a licensed barber must be designated as the
manager, required to ensure such compliance, of a barbering establishment. The bill
converts a person who was formerly licensed as a cosmetology manager into a
licensed cosmetologist and a person who was formerly licensed as a barbering
manager into a licensed barber.
This bill also eliminates the requirement for cosmetologists, aestheticians,
electrologists, manicurists, and barbers to hold a certificate granted by DSPS in
order to provide instruction in their respective professions. Under current law,
cosmetologists, aestheticians, electrologists, and manicurists licensed by the
Cosmetology Examining Board must hold an additional certificate as an instructor
and meet certain other requirements in order to provide instruction in their
professions. Current law also requires barbers licensed by DSPS to hold an
additional certificate as an instructor and meet certain other requirements in order
to provide practical instruction in barbering.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
