Bill > HB4394

This bill amends the State License Fee Act to modify licensing fees for barbers and cosmetologists, with a specific focus on creating a new temporary permit for veterans to perform services at veteran service organizations. The bill introduces a $20 temporary permit fee for both barbers and cosmetologists who wish to provide services at veteran service organizations. Additionally, the bill updates various application processing fees, examination fees, and annual license fees for different categories of professionals in the barbering and cosmetology fields, with most fees being reduced after September 30, 2027. For example, application processing fees for barbers and cosmetologists will decrease from $20 to $15, and annual license fees for professionals will also be lowered. The bill also makes minor language changes, replacing the term "a person" with "an individual" throughout the text. The amendments will take effect 180 days after enactment and are contingent on the passage of a related House Bill (HB 4395). The changes aim to streamline licensing processes and provide more affordable options for professionals in these fields, with a particular emphasis on supporting veterans.
