Bill > H4628

This bill amends South Carolina law by lowering the minimum age requirement for tattoo artists from twenty-one to eighteen years old. The proposed change maintains the existing requirements that tattoo artists must have annual certification in blood borne pathology and tattoo infection control, as approved by the state department, and must also hold current First Aid and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) certifications from either the American Red Cross or the American Heart Association. Additionally, the bill continues to mandate that these certification documents must be conspicuously displayed in a public area within the tattoo facility. The bill would take effect immediately upon receiving the Governor's approval, potentially making it easier for younger professionals to enter the tattoo industry while still maintaining strict health and safety training standards.
