An Act amending Chapter 236 of the Special Acts of 2014

This bill amends Massachusetts law to update the composition and appointment rules for the Board of Registration of Cosmetology and Barbering. It establishes a nine-member board where eight members must be licensed professionals with at least five years of experience in specific fields, while one member must be a representative of the general public with no ties to the industry. The legislation also clarifies that the governor appoints these members and outlines the process for selecting a chairperson, removing members for misconduct, and managing vacancies.
