Bill Summary
Amending the act of May 3, 1933 (P.L.242, No.86), entitled "An act to promote the public health and safety by providing for examination, licensing and granting of permits for those who desire to engage in the profession of cosmetology; defining cosmetology, and regulating cosmetology salons, schools, students, apprentices, teachers, managers, manicurists and cosmetologists; conferring powers and duties upon the Commissioner of Professional and Occupational Affairs of the Department of State; providing for appeals to certain courts by applicants and licensees; and providing penalties," providing for change of cosmetology salon location.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Cosmetology Law to establish a streamlined process for cosmetology salons to change their location. Under the new provisions, the board must immediately approve a salon's location change application if the salon currently holds a valid license and has not been found in violation of existing regulations. To do so, the salon owner must submit two key pieces of information to the board: first, a detailed sketch plan showing the new salon's layout, including the precise positioning of doors, windows, partitions, shampoo basins, chairs, and other floor equipment; and second, the name and license number of the person who will be in charge of the salon in the owner's absence. After the board approves the application, a bureau inspector must conduct an on-site inspection of the new salon location within ten days to ensure compliance with facility requirements. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, providing salon owners with a clear, expedited process for relocating their businesses while maintaining regulatory oversight.
