Regards the regulation of cosmetologists and barbers
HB 158 amends state laws to clarify definitions of controlled substances and establish specific weight thresholds for what counts as a "bulk amount" of drugs. The bill also introduces new legal definitions for terms like "drug abuse offense" and "harmful intoxicant," which includes volatile solvents and aerosol propellants. Additionally, the legislation allows the state to join the Cosmetology Licensure Compact to streamline professional licensing for cosmetologists and barbers. These changes update existing regulations to better address drug-related offenses and modernize professional standards.
