LB 720 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Create a temporary event license for body artists under the Uniform Credentialing Act

LB 720 creates a temporary, nonrenewable license allowing body artists to practice at specific events in Nebraska for up to seven consecutive days. It directly affects body artists licensed in other states who attend events like festivals or conventions but aren't licensed in Nebraska. To qualify, applicants must hold a valid out-of-state license, submit a completed application, government ID, their license copy, and a sponsorship letter from a licensed facility or event organizer. The license includes the artist's name, approved event location, and expiration date, with a $50 fee paid to the Professional and Occupational Cash Credentialing Fund. The bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to inspect facilities for compliance, with violations subject to the same penalties as permanent license holders.
