Bill > SB27

This bill revises the licensing fees and regulations for cosmetology, esthetics, and nail technology professionals in South Dakota. The bill amends three sections of existing law to update the scope of rules that the cosmetology commission can establish and clarify the fee structure for various professional licenses and services. Specifically, the bill maintains the commission's authority to create rules about licensing requirements, examinations, salon and school standards, professional conduct, and educational standards, while also specifying a comprehensive list of fees for different types of licenses and services. Notable fees include a $125 initial license fee, $50 renewal fee for cosmetologists, nail technicians, and estheticians, and a new provision allowing the commission to charge up to $40 per year for reinstating a lapsed license. The bill ensures that license fees remain consistent regardless of the time remaining before expiration and provides the commission with clear guidelines for establishing and collecting professional licensing fees in the cosmetology and related industries.
