An Act establishing a manicurist industry minimum standards advisory board

This bill creates a new advisory board dedicated to studying and recommending minimum standards for wages, benefits, working hours, training, and safety conditions in Massachusetts nail salons. The fifteen-member board includes government officials, business owners, labor experts, and licensed manicurists appointed by the governor and attorney general to ensure diverse representation. Once established, the board will gather data, hold research, and submit reports with policy suggestions to state legislators and labor agencies within eighteen months, though it does not have the power to adjudicate individual complaints.
