AI Summary

This bill requires certain licensed professionals, such as aestheticians, barbers, cosmetologists, electrologists, and manicurists, to complete one hour of domestic violence and sexual assault awareness education as part of their initial licensing and one hour of continuing education on the same topic for each license renewal. The bill provides immunity from civil or criminal liability for these professionals or their employers who act in good faith or fail to act on information obtained during their employment concerning potential domestic violence or sexual assault. The bill also allows the licensing board to waive the continuing education requirement in certain circumstances, such as financial hardship or military service.
