Bill > HB4692

This bill allows the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) to issue a secondary school facility license to existing cosmetology schools, enabling them to operate branch facilities separate from their main location. These secondary facilities, referred to as "secondary school facilities," must be associated with and operated by the same licensed cosmetology school, but cannot offer services to the public or have equipment for public use, such as hair-drying chairs or styling stations. The bill outlines specific requirements for these branch facilities, including submitting an application with a floor plan and details on how the facility will be used, ensuring all training is provided by experienced, licensed cosmetology instructors, and passing a departmental inspection. The license for a secondary school facility will become void if the facility is sold, ownership is transferred, or its location changes, requiring a new license application in such cases. The bill also mandates that the secondary school facility license and instructor licenses be prominently displayed, and that LARA regularly inspect these facilities. Finally, it requires LARA to create rules to implement these provisions within 18 months of the bill's enactment.
