Bill > S0720

This bill makes several changes to Florida law, primarily by deregulating certain professions and occupations. It exempts out-of-state auctioneers conducting sanctioned motor vehicle auction contests in Florida from needing a Florida license, provided a Florida-licensed auctioneer is present. The bill also removes the requirement for individuals who solely practice hair braiding, hair wrapping, or body wrapping to register, and clarifies that the Florida Cosmetology Act does not apply to them. Additionally, it repeals provisions related to the Sale of Business Opportunities Act, which previously regulated certain business opportunities. The bill also includes provisions to streamline the auctioneer licensing process by removing references to "apprentice" in some contexts and clarifying supervision requirements, and mandates a review of all businesses and professions regulated by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation to assess the feasibility of moving towards self-regulation with insurance or bond requirements.
