Bill Summary
This bill relates to barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences. The bill allows an instructor employed by a school of barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences to perform barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences services for compensation at the school while not instructing students. A school of barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences where a licensee performs barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences services is not required to obtain a license as a barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences establishment. The bill allows the board of barbering and cosmetology arts and sciences (board) to approve a course of study allowing a student to simultaneously study for licenses to practice both esthetics and nail technology. A student who partially completes a combined course of study for licensure for the practice of esthetics and nail technology is not eligible for licensure for the practice of esthetics or nail technology unless the student has completed the licensure requirements for the practice of esthetics or nail technology. The bill requires the board to adopt rules relating to the combined license for the practice of esthetics and nail technology.
AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to regulations governing barbering and cosmetology schools and licensing in Iowa. First, it allows instructors employed by barbering and cosmetology schools to perform professional services for compensation at their school while not teaching students. The bill also exempts schools from needing to obtain a separate establishment license when students or licensed professionals provide services on-site. Additionally, the legislation permits the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology Arts and Sciences to approve a combined course of study that allows students to simultaneously pursue licenses in esthetics and nail technology. However, the bill stipulates that students must complete the full licensure requirements for each discipline to be eligible for individual licenses. Students who only partially complete the combined course cannot receive a license in either esthetics or nail technology. The board is required to develop rules to implement these new provisions, ensuring clear guidelines for schools, instructors, and students in the barbering and cosmetology fields.
