Bill > SB2440

This bill, titled "Board of Cosmetology and Barbering; bring forward code sections related to," proposes to consolidate and update existing Mississippi laws governing the professions of cosmetology and barbering. Key provisions include the establishment of a unified State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering, composed of seven members appointed by the Governor, with specific representation from both cosmetology and barbering professions. The bill outlines the qualifications for board members, the terms of office, and the process for filling vacancies. It also details the powers and duties of the board, including the authority to create rules and regulations, set curricula for schools, and investigate violations. The bill defines various terms such as "barbering," "cosmetology," "esthetics," and "nail technology," and sets forth licensing requirements, examination procedures, and renewal processes for individuals and establishments. It also addresses disciplinary actions, including fines and license suspension or revocation, and establishes fee schedules for licenses, inspections, and other services. The bill aims to streamline the regulation of these professions by merging previously separate boards and updating the legal framework to ensure public safety and professional standards.
