HB 2296 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to authorizing the Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists to promulgate a legislative rule relating to the operation of barber, cosmetology, nail technology, aesthetic, hair styling, and waxing salons and schools

HB 2296 authorizes West Virginia's Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists to implement a specific regulatory rule governing the operation of barber, cosmetology, nail technology, aesthetic, hair styling, and waxing salons and schools. The bill formally approves a rule the Board previously filed (modified after committee feedback) that addresses operational standards for these businesses. It does not create new requirements but enables the Board to enforce existing rules through official legislative authority. This affects salons, schools, and their operators in the regulated beauty and personal care industry across West Virginia.
