Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Engrossment information:
The text of Engrossed 2017 Senate Bill 109, as passed by the senate on June 14,
2017, consists of the following documents adopted in the senate on June 14, 2017:
the bill as affected by Senate Amendment 5 and Senate Amendment 7.
Content of Engrossed 2017 Senate Bill 109:
Under this bill, a person licensed to practice cosmetology, aesthetics,
manicuring, or barbering may engage in that practice outside of a licensed
establishment if the following conditions are satisfied: 1) the person owns, manages,
is employed by, or is affiliated with an establishment that is licensed to provide that
service; 2) the person brings to the location where the person performs services a copy
of the license furnished to the person; and 3) the service provided by the person does
not involve the use of a chemical process, except for cutting hair, styling hair, or
applying cosmetics. In addition, the bill requires the Cosmetology Examining Board
to promulgate rules permitting the practice of electrology outside of a licensed
establishment and to promulgate rules permitting the use of a chemical process in
the practice of cosmetology, aesthetics, or manicuring outside of a licensed
establishment. Also, the Department of Safety and Professional Services is required
to promulgate rules permitting the use of a chemical process in the practice of
barbering. Under current law, the Board, in the case of cosmetology, aesthetics, and
manicuring, and DSPS, 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 be granted a certification by DSPS in
order to provide instruction in their respective professions. The bill prohibits DSPS
from requiring an instructor certification to be renewed. Current law requires
renewal of an instructor certification every two years. The bill also prohibits a person

from representing himself or herself as a Wisconsin certified cosmetology, aesthetics,
electrology, manicuring, or barbering instructor or using any of those titles unless
the person is granted the applicable instructor certification.
