Bill > HB52

This bill modifies Missouri's cosmetology laws by introducing a new "personal service registration" for licensed cosmetologists to provide services to "placebound clients" - individuals who are ill, disabled, or otherwise unable to travel to a cosmetology establishment. The bill expands the definition of cosmetology to include this new registration category and establishes specific rules for personal service providers. Cosmetologists with current licenses in categories like hairdressing, manicuring, and estheticians can apply for this registration by submitting an application, paying a fee, and providing their current license. The state board of cosmetology and barber examiners will have the authority to inspect the tools and equipment of personal service registrants annually or in response to customer complaints, and can revoke or discipline registrations for violations of established standards. The bill also includes provisions for maintaining up-to-date registration information and providing documentation to clients upon request. Additionally, the bill allows the board to create regulations for administering this new registration process, with specific requirements for rule-making procedures.
