Bill Summary

This bill allows certain licensees of the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling to teach in a private school of cosmetology and hairstyling. Current law limits a license to teach cosmetology and hairstyling to individuals who hold a cosmetologist-hairstylist license. This bill expands that law to allow individuals holding a license to practice barbering, beauty culture, manicuring or as a hair braiding or skin care specialist to teach in a private school of cosmetology and hairstyling, provided the individuals meet certain other requirements. The bill also makes it an unlawful practice for a teacher to teach a course in a service not within the scope of practice of the professional license held by the teacher.

AI Summary

This bill allows individuals licensed by the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling in professions other than cosmetology and hairstyling, such as barbering, beauty culture, manicuring, hair braiding, or skin care, to teach in private schools of cosmetology and hairstyling, provided they meet certain requirements, including having training equivalent to or greater than that required for a cosmetologist-hairstylist license. The bill also amends existing law to make it an unlawful practice for a teacher to instruct students in services that fall outside the scope of their own professional license, ensuring that teachers only teach within their area of expertise. This change expands the pool of qualified instructors for private cosmetology schools by recognizing the expertise of licensees in related fields.
