Bill > LB720

This bill, titled "Create a temporary event license for body artists under the Uniform Credentialing Act," proposes to amend the Uniform Credentialing Act, which governs various professions including body art. The key provision is the creation of a temporary, nonrenewable event license by the Department of Health and Human Services for body artists attending specific events. This license will allow an individual to practice body art for a maximum of seven consecutive days within any twelve-month period, with a limit of two such licenses per individual annually. To obtain this temporary license, applicants must already hold a valid, unrestricted body art license or permit from another state and provide proof of age, a copy of their out-of-state license, and a sponsorship letter from a licensed body art facility where they intend to practice. The temporary license will specify the artist's name, the approved event or location, its expiration date, the state of issuance, and the artist's out-of-state license number. A $50 fee will be charged for this license, with the funds going to the Professional and Occupational Credentialing Cash Fund. The department is also authorized to inspect the body art facility where the event practice will occur to ensure compliance with regulations. Violations of these temporary licensing rules will carry the same penalties as those for individuals or facilities holding permanent body art licenses under the Uniform Credentialing Act. The bill also repeals the original section of the law it amends and declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
