Bill > SB1800

This bill mandates that the State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners (the board) create and use a unique student identification number for each applicant who is accumulating instructional hours towards a license or certificate, such as for cosmetology or barbering. This student identification number will be used on hourly reports and for applications for examinations or certificates of registration, replacing the need to use a student's Social Security Number (SSN) for these purposes. The bill specifically states that the board shall not use a student's SSN as a public-facing identifier, emphasizing privacy by using the student identification number instead until the student is ready to take an examination or receive their credential. This change applies to various sections of Tennessee law related to professional licensing in cosmetology and barbering.
