Bill > SB2306

This bill creates a new pathway for individuals who exclusively provide makeup application services in Tennessee to operate without needing a full cosmetology or aesthetician license. Previously, anyone performing such services might have been required to hold one of these licenses, which involve more extensive training and examination. Under this new law, individuals can obtain a certificate for makeup application services by completing eight hours of approved training in health and hygiene, registering biennially with the Department of Commerce and Insurance (the state agency responsible for regulating professions) and paying a $30 fee, and displaying a notice stating they are not a licensed cosmetologist or aesthetician. Importantly, these individuals are prohibited from calling themselves licensed cosmetologists or aestheticians unless they meet the separate requirements for those licenses, and they cannot perform other services like applying artificial eyelashes or permanent makeup. This change aims to streamline the process for makeup artists while still ensuring basic health and hygiene standards are met.
