SSPA INTRODUCES NEW LEGISLATION ON THESE TOPICS!

 H.F. 3559 (MASIN)

YOUR SUPPORT AND ADVOCACY ARE NEEDED!
  • REDUCED LICENSE FEES FOR MULTIPLE LICENSE HOLDERS
  • SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT OF 3-YEARS OPEN TO ALL LICENSEES
  • REPEALING SOME UNNECESSARY COSMETOLOGY RULES
  • REGISTRATION AND CE FOR UNLICENSED MAKEUP/Simple Hair Styling

As a licensee, this bill provides smart relief and common sense to the future of our profession!

GET PROACTIVE AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO PARTICIPATE AS WELL!

Here are some of the highlights of our legislation:

  • Creates a single 3-year practitioner license with various endorsements reflecting all other individual licenses held:  
     - Each practitioner, manager, and/or instructor license held will be listed on ONE license.
     - $25 per endorsement instead of the current structure $115-145 for each additional license. 
    - This will SAVE you money!

  • Allows special event permit eligibility for all licensed practitioners 
     - Removes manager requirement and advance notice to the board of the event.
     - All permit holders must carry liability insurance and a first-aid kit.
     - $50 fee for a 3-year permit vs. an annual fee of $75.

  • Repeals unnecessary cosmetology rules: 
     - Removes second additional “immediately adjacent” sink requirement for salons. 
     - Repeals salon time log to track hours for additional individual licenses such as an instructor license. 
     - Removes the prohibition on counting home-bound hours towards any other license.

  • Required registration for unlicensed hair and makeup artists doing exempt services:
     - 3-year permit with completed Health, Safety, Infection Control Course upon initial registration and for each renewal. 
     - Registrants must carry liability insurance and a first-aid kit.
     - $75 registration fee.

  • Net reduction of Instructor CE hour requirements: 
     - Lowers teaching methodology to 20 hours every three years (currently 30). 
     - Raises clinical practice portion to 20 hours every three years (currently 15).

  • CE provider improvement: 
     - Allows a salon franchisor to become a professional practice CE provider. 
     - Requires any CE provider to transfer records to a caretaker if they are no longer a CE provider.
