Bill Summary

For legislation to reduce regulations for hair braiders. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill aims to reduce regulations for hair braiders in Massachusetts. It does this by amending the state's laws to define "natural hair braiding" as a separate activity from "hairdressing," which is subject to licensing and other regulations. The bill exempts natural hair braiding from the rules and regulations issued by the state's Board of Registration of Cosmetology and Barbering, effectively removing the licensing requirement for this specific practice.
