HB 362 requires Tennessee's TACIR (Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations) to study the economic impact of cosmetology and barbering professions in the state, including revenue generated and jobs created. The study must be conducted using existing TACIR resources, with input requested from the Department of Commerce and Insurance. Upon completion, TACIR must report findings and recommendations - including any proposed legislation - to the relevant legislative committees (Commerce and Labor in the Senate and the House committee overseeing cosmetology/barbering) and provide a copy to the legislative librarian. This bill does not change current laws but mandates a study to inform future policy decisions affecting these professions.
