If enacted, this bill would update current statutes by appropriating $235,500 and three full-time equivalent (FTE) positions from the Barbering and Cosmetology Fund to the Arizona Barbering and Cosmetology Board for salaries and operational costs in fiscal year 2026-2027. The bill specifies that the Board must fill these positions with one licensing specialist, one customer service representative, and one quality assurance specialist.

The bill also clarifies that the appropriated funds are sourced from the Barbering and Cosmetology Fund, as established by section 32-505 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, rather than the state General Fund. This change aims to enhance the Board's operational capacity and efficiency in regulating barbering and cosmetology professionals and establishments.
