Relating to: the membership of the Cosmetology Examining Board.

SB 1030 revises the membership structure of the Cosmetology Examining Board within the Department of Safety and Professional Services. The bill requires the board to have exactly nine members: four licensed cosmetologists/aestheticians, one public member, one private cosmetology school representative, one public cosmetology school representative, one licensed electrologist, and one licensed manicurist. It also prohibits more than four board members from having financial ties to cosmetology schools. This change directly affects who serves on the board and the composition of the licensing oversight body for cosmetology professionals.
