Bill > HB1181

This bill extends the "Barber and Cosmetologist Act" for an additional 11 years, until September 1, 2037, and aligns with recommendations from a state regulatory review. It removes the advisory committee that previously assisted the director, updates definitions and terminology within the act for clarity, and specifies certain services and providers that are now exempt from the act's regulations, such as mortuary science professionals, cosmetic tattoo artists, and those providing theatrical makeup. Additionally, the bill replaces gendered language with gender-neutral terms throughout the act.
