This bill amends the Barber and Cosmetology Services Act in Idaho by making several significant changes to the definitions and regulations surrounding the practice of cosmetology and related services. Notably, it removes the definition of "makeup artist" and repeals the section related to certificates for makeup artists, while introducing a new exemption from licensure for individuals or businesses performing makeup artistry. Additionally, the bill updates the definitions of various terms, including changing the numbering of certain subsections, and clarifies the scope of practices that can be performed without a license under specific conditions.

Furthermore, the bill revises provisions regarding establishments, emphasizing that it is unlawful to practice licensed services in unlicensed locations, with certain exceptions for individuals providing services in specific circumstances, such as for those unable to visit a licensed establishment due to health reasons. The bill also outlines exemptions from licensure for various groups, including students, individuals providing services in their homes without compensation, and those demonstrating products in retail settings. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, following the declaration of an emergency.
