Bill Summary
This bill revises the membership of the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling. Currently, the board requires one licensed teacher who has engaged in teaching at a licensed school of beauty culture or cosmetology and hairstyling in New Jersey to be appointed. Under the bill, two individuals representing public school vocational programs are to be appointed to the board. Two individuals representing private licensed schools of cosmetology and hairstyling are also to be appointed. Additionally, the bill modifies the number of public members on the board. Currently, three public members are appointed. The bill adjusts this to two members who are to represent the interests of the public. Moreover, the bill modifies the type of professional that is to be appointed to the board. Instead of allotting six slots for cosmetologist-hairstylists, beauticians, and barbers, those same slots are to be filled by individuals licensed in any of the professions for which the board issues a license. With the revisions, total board membership is expanded from 13 to 15 individuals.
AI Summary
This bill expands the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling from 13 to 15 members by changing the composition of its members. Specifically, it reduces the number of public members from three to two, and instead of one licensed teacher from a beauty culture school, it will now include two representatives from public school vocational programs in cosmetology and hairstyling, and two representatives from private licensed cosmetology and hairstyling schools. Additionally, the bill broadens the qualifications for six of the professional members, allowing them to be licensed in any profession for which the board issues a license, rather than being limited to cosmetologist-hairstylists, beauticians, and barbers, and requiring them to have at least five years of practice experience but not be involved in teaching or running a licensed school.
