The bill amends K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 65-1958 to authorize the Kansas State Board of Cosmetology to issue temporary location permits and temporary guest artist permits, replacing the previous terminology of "demonstration" permits. The new provisions establish criteria for issuing these permits, allowing individuals who are licensed in other states or jurisdictions to apply for temporary permits in Kansas, provided their licenses are not revoked, suspended, or conditioned. Additionally, the bill specifies that applicants from foreign countries without a social security number can submit a valid visa or passport identification number instead.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that any temporary location or guest artist permit issued will expire within a specified number of days after issuance, although the exact duration is not defined in the text. The Kansas State Board of Cosmetology is also tasked with adopting necessary rules and regulations to implement these changes by December 31, 2023. The existing section of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 65-1958 is repealed, and the act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
