S 4979 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Modifies membership of New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling.

This bill modifies the membership composition of New Jersey's State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling. It reduces public members from three to two, adds specific representation for public school vocational programs and private cosmetology schools, and changes how professional members are selected. Instead of requiring six members licensed specifically in cosmetology/barbering, the board must now appoint six licensed professionals in any cosmetology-related field. The board will continue to include two hair braiding shop owners and one State executive department member. These changes directly affect who serves on the board, which regulates cosmetology and hairstyling licensing in New Jersey.
