AI Summary
This bill amends the Barber, Cosmetology, Esthetics, Hair Braiding, and Nail Technology Act of 1985 to establish a comprehensive apprenticeship program for professionals in cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, and nail technology. The bill defines an "apprentice" as a person registered with the Board who is participating in an apprenticeship program approved by the U.S. Department of Labor, working to obtain a specific professional license in a licensed salon or shop. It sets specific training hour requirements for different specialties: cosmetology and barbering apprentices must complete 2,250 hours of practical training (including 180 hours of supplemental instruction), while esthetician and nail technician apprentices must complete 2,000 hours (including 144 hours of supplemental instruction). Importantly, apprentices can only provide services under the direct supervision of a licensed professional within that professional's scope of practice. The bill also modifies existing licensure requirements, allowing individuals to qualify for a barber license through either graduating from an approved school or completing an approved apprenticeship program. Additionally, the bill gives the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation the authority to register apprentices and prescribe rules for the apprenticeship program, expanding pathways for professional development in these fields.
