Bill > SB0131

This bill establishes a new licensing framework for secondary school facilities associated with cosmetology schools, allowing schools of cosmetology to operate branch classroom locations separate from their main campus. Under the bill, a school can obtain a secondary school facility license if they submit a detailed application including a floor plan, meet specific requirements such as not offering public cosmetology services, and ensure all training is provided by experienced licensed cosmetology instructors with at least three years of professional experience. The bill requires these secondary facilities to display their license prominently, undergo regular departmental inspections, and obtain a new license if there are changes in ownership or location. The license becomes void if the facility is sold, transferred, or relocated, necessitating a new application. The bill defines a "secondary school facility" as a separate classroom location associated with and operated by a licensed cosmetology school, and mandates that the department develop specific implementation rules within 18 months of the bill's effective date. The primary goal appears to be providing additional educational opportunities for cosmetology students while maintaining strict regulatory oversight to ensure quality training.
