Licensing pilot program; creating the State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering Online Licensing Program. Effective date.

SB 319 creates a pilot program to move cosmetology and barbering license applications and renewals online. It establishes the "State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering Online Licensing Pilot Program" within Service Oklahoma, requiring the cosmetology/barbering board to use a web-based platform for these processes. Service Oklahoma will select and host the platform per state purchasing rules, but the board retains full authority over licensing standards, exams, and discipline. The program is temporary (a pilot) and effective November 1, 2025, with potential future expansion to other licensed professions.
