Bill > LB720

This bill, titled "Create a temporary event license for body artists under the Uniform Credentialing Act," proposes to amend existing law by requiring the Department of Health and Human Services to establish a temporary event license for body artists attending specific events. This new license will allow individuals 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, and requires them to practice within a licensed body art facility that has been inspected. Applicants must hold a valid, unrestricted license or permit from another state and provide proof of age, their body art license, and a sponsorship letter from a licensed facility owner or operator. The temporary license will include the artist's name, approved location or event, expiration date, state of issuance, and their license number, and will cost fifty dollars, with the fee going to the Professional and Occupational Credentialing Cash Fund. The department is also empowered to inspect the facility where the event will take place to ensure compliance with regulations. Violations of this temporary licensing provision will carry the same penalties as those for individuals or facilities holding permanent body art licenses under the Uniform Credentialing Act, which is the overarching set of laws governing professional and occupational licensing in the state. The bill also repeals the original section of law it amends and declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
