Bill > HB1030

This bill modifies the licensing requirements for electrologists in Indiana, primarily removing the previous requirement that applicants must hold a cosmetologist or esthetician license before applying for an electrologist license. Starting July 1, 2027, applicants will need to complete a combined total of 600 hours of education and experience in electrology training, as determined by the state board of cosmetology and barber examiners. The bill also requires the board to update its rules by June 30, 2027, to allow electrology and esthetics services to be performed in the same room (though not simultaneously) and to establish the new 600-hour training requirement. Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions that allow applicants who do not pass the licensing examination to retake it without additional study, and requires applicants to meet other existing criteria such as paying the required fee and not having committed disciplinable acts. The changes aim to streamline the licensing process for electrologists and provide more flexible training and workspace guidelines.
