This bill amends the existing law regarding the practice of cosmetology in Kansas by authorizing the Kansas State Board of Cosmetology to issue temporary location permits and temporary guest artist permits. The bill removes the term "demonstration" from the previous language, allowing for a broader interpretation of the types of permits that can be issued. It establishes criteria for granting these permits, including provisions for individuals licensed in other states and specific conditions under which foreign applicants may apply without a social security number.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the board adopt necessary rules and regulations to implement these changes by December 31, 2023. It also repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 65-1958, effectively replacing it with the new provisions outlined in the bill. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
