Professions and Occupations - As introduced, exempts a person whose occupation or practice is confined solely to makeup application services from the requirement to be licensed as a cosmetologist or aesthetician if the person meets the requirements to obtain a certificate to provide makeup application services. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 62, Chapter 3; Title 62, Chapter 38 and Title 62, Chapter 4.

SB 2306 creates a new registration pathway for individuals who provide *only* makeup application services (e.g., for events, photography, or personal use), exempting them from requiring a full cosmetology or aesthetician license. To use this exemption, individuals must complete 8 hours of approved health/hygiene training, register biennially with the state department for a $30 fee, and display a notice stating they are not state-licensed. The bill prohibits them from using terms like "licensed cosmetologist" unless they hold the full license, and restricts them from offering additional services like eyelash placement without proper certification. This policy change directly affects freelance makeup artists, salons, and event professionals who exclusively perform makeup application.
