MODERATE

This bill adds a new section to South Dakota's salon regulations allowing multiple licensed cosmetologists, estheticians, or nail technicians to share work stations or space within a salon, provided they do not provide services simultaneously and each maintains proper equipment and sanitary standards. The bill also clarifies that equipment can be shared if it meets minimum standards, and establishes that salon operators are responsible for violations when it cannot be determined which individual licensee committed the infraction. An emergency declaration is included to ensure immediate implementation.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope of salon operations by permitting multiple licensees to share work stations or space, whereas previously each licensee likely required their own dedicated space.
