AI Summary

This bill aims to remove broad exemptions that deny individuals in booth rental business structures eligibility for unemployment insurance and industrial insurance. The bill prohibits salon/shop license holders from leasing or subleasing space to individuals providing cosmetology or hair design services as a separate business. It also amends existing laws to include certain requirements for barbers and booth renters to be considered excluded from the definition of "employment" under the state's unemployment insurance and workers' compensation laws. The bill intends to promote a more competitive marketplace by addressing the unfair advantages that businesses using booth renters currently have.
