Bill > S0381

This bill amends existing law to expand the circumstances under which licensed hairdressers can provide services outside of a traditional salon setting. Specifically, the bill adds language allowing licensed hairdressers to provide services at home to individuals with special needs or sensory-related disorders or differences, in addition to the existing provisions for homebound individuals. The bill builds upon current regulations that already permit hairdressers to provide services in certain non-traditional settings, such as nursing agencies, elderly housing, and special events like weddings or proms. The service must be verified by a licensed healthcare professional, ensuring that the expanded home service is appropriate for the individual's specific needs. The provision aims to make hair care more accessible for people who might find traditional salon environments challenging due to their special needs or sensory sensitivities. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing for immediate implementation of the expanded service provisions.
