Authorizing the board of cosmetology to issue temporary location and temporary guest artist permits and establishing criteria therefor.

HB 2338 creates two new temporary permits for cosmetologists in Kansas: "temporary location permits" for professionals moving between licensed locations, and "temporary guest artist permits" for those providing services at conventions or approved events. To qualify, applicants must hold an active cosmetology license in another state or jurisdiction (or be a foreign professional without a U.S. social security number, who may use a visa/passport instead). Permits expire after 14 days and are only valid for specific temporary activities, not regular practice. The bill directly affects out-of-state cosmetologists, event professionals, and foreign practitioners seeking short-term authorization in Kansas.
