Bill Summary
This bill amends current law to allow teaching experience to be considered when an out-of-State individual applies for a license from the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling. The teaching experience would have to be acquired in a school licensed or otherwise approved by an agency in the other jurisdiction in order to apply in New Jersey.
AI Summary
This bill allows individuals from out-of-state who are seeking a cosmetology and hairstyling license in New Jersey to have their teaching experience considered as a qualification, in addition to practical experience. This means that if an applicant has taught cosmetology and hairstyling services in a school that was officially licensed or approved by an agency in another jurisdiction, that teaching experience can now count towards meeting New Jersey's licensing requirements, potentially making it easier for experienced professionals from other states to obtain a license in New Jersey without needing to retake certain exams.
