Establishes optional special needs training program for professional and shop licensees of New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling.
This bill creates an optional training program for cosmetology and hairstyling professionals in New Jersey to learn how to safely and effectively serve clients with special needs, such as those with sensory processing disorders. It also establishes a certification program for shops (including mobile shops) seeking recognition as "friendly to individuals with special needs." The New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling must develop standards for both the training and shop certification, collaborating with community and educational organizations. The program is voluntary and does not require existing licensees or shops to participate.
