The proposed bill aims to consolidate and modernize the regulation of barbering and cosmetology in Arizona by merging barbering regulations into the existing cosmetology statutes. Key changes include the repeal of separate barbering laws, the establishment of a unified Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, and the requirement for barbers to adhere to the same licensing, examination, and renewal processes as cosmetologists. The bill also allows aestheticians and cosmetologists to perform eyelash extensions without separate registration as eyelash technicians, while updating definitions and qualifications for barbering licenses, including specific training and examination requirements.
Additionally, the bill modifies the licensing structure for instructors, introduces new definitions for establishments (replacing "salon"), and adjusts fees associated with licensing and reciprocity. It eliminates certain supervisory requirements for laser technicians, allowing certified professionals to perform procedures without direct supervision. The renewal process for licenses is also streamlined, reducing the inactive license period from ten years to five. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the regulatory framework, improve operational efficiency, and ensure compliance with current industry standards.
