Bill > LB720

This bill, titled "Create a temporary event license for body artists under the Uniform Credentialing Act," proposes to amend the existing Cosmetology, Electrology, Esthetics, Nail Technology, and Body Art Practice Act by adding a new provision that requires the Department of Health and Human Services to create and issue a temporary, nonrenewable event license for body artists attending specific events. This temporary license will allow an individual to practice body art for a maximum of seven consecutive days, but only within a licensed body art facility. To obtain this event license, applicants must already hold a valid, unrestricted license or permit to practice body art in another state and must submit an application, a copy of their government-issued photo ID, a copy of their body art license, and a sponsorship letter from a licensed body art facility or event organizer. The temporary license will display the individual's name, the approved location or event, and its expiration date. The department is authorized to charge a fee of up to fifty dollars for this license, which will be deposited into the Professional and Occupational Cash Credentialing Fund. The department will also have the authority to inspect facilities to ensure compliance with this new section, and violations 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 it amends and declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
