AI Summary
This bill updates Pennsylvania's Cosmetology Law by adding and modifying definitions and licensing requirements. Specifically, it introduces a new definition for a "mobile unit" as a self-contained mobile establishment for cosmetology services that must be at least 24 feet long, licensed by the board, and comply with health and safety regulations. The bill also modifies the definition of a "salon" to explicitly include mobile units and clarifies that when a salon owner changes location (except for mobile units), they must obtain a new license and pay a fee set by the board. The changes aim to provide clearer guidelines for mobile cosmetology businesses and ensure proper licensing and regulation of these establishments. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving businesses time to adapt to the new requirements.
