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.
