Bill > S1224

This bill mandates that manicure shops and any establishment offering manicure services must prominently display a warning sign in large letters for customers to see, stating that "CHEMICALS CONTAINED IN NAIL POLISH MAY POSE HEALTH RISKS. PREGNANT WOMEN AND YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD AVOID EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TO THESE CHEMICALS." If a shop fails to post this sign, the Board of Registration of Cosmetologists, which is the state agency responsible for licensing and regulating cosmetologists, will provide one, and the shop will have 30 days to display it. The bill also outlines penalties for non-compliance: a written warning for the first offense, a fine of at least $25 but no more than $100 for a second offense, and for third and subsequent violations, each day the sign remains unposted will be considered a separate violation.
