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," further providing for powers and duties of board.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Cosmetology Law to expand the powers and duties of the State Board of Cosmetology's inspectors. Specifically, the bill authorizes the board to appoint inspectors who must be licensed cosmetologists with at least five years of active professional experience. These inspectors will be paid at a rate determined by the board and will have the right to enter any cosmetology-related business or workplace not only to conduct inspections and investigate complaints, but also to perform other tasks as directed by the board. The expanded language allows the board more flexibility in using its inspectors to monitor and regulate the cosmetology profession. The bill will go into effect 60 days after its passage, providing a standard transition period for implementation of the new provisions.
