This bill reorganizes the regulatory structure for barbering and cosmetology in South Dakota by eliminating the Board of Barber Examiners and Cosmetology Commission and establishing a new Cosmetology and Barbering Board. The new board will have authority to oversee licensing, enforce regulations, and impose penalties for violations within the industry. The legislation also includes provisions for funding the board's operations through a specific appropriation. This change affects barbers, cosmetologists, and salon owners who currently operate under the existing commission structure.
