A bill for an act relating to a barbering and cosmetology establishment training program.

This bill creates an "establishment training program" allowing licensed barbering and cosmetology businesses (including home-based operations) to register with the state board and employ unlicensed staff for specific services like shampooing, cutting, coloring, and styling hair. Unlicensed staff must complete two hours of state-mandated education on laws, sanitation, and safety before working under the direct, on-site supervision of a licensed employee. Businesses must disclose in writing to customers that unlicensed staff are providing services, comply with all facility safety and equipment standards, and undergo state inspections. The program aims to expand workforce opportunities while maintaining oversight through mandatory education, written consumer notices, and board enforcement powers.
