Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists rule relating to operational standards for schools of barbering, cosmetology, hair styling, nail technology, and aesthetics
SB 329 authorizes the West Virginia Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists to implement operational standards for schools training barbering, cosmetology, hair styling, nail technology, and aesthetics. The bill specifically reauthorizes a previously revised rule (3 CSR 04) that was modified to address legislative committee feedback. This procedural bill does not change the standards themselves but legally permits the board to enforce them. It directly affects cosmetology and barbering schools operating in West Virginia. The rule covers facility requirements, instructor qualifications, and curriculum standards for these educational programs.
