This bill amends the Occupational Code to introduce a new section, 1205b, which establishes the requirements for issuing a secondary school facility license to individuals who hold a license to operate a school of cosmetology. The bill outlines specific criteria that must be met for the issuance of this license, including the submission of an application detailing the facility's intended use, a current floor plan, and compliance with existing cosmetology school requirements, with the stipulation that the facility cannot offer services to the public or contain equipment for public use. Additionally, all training must be conducted by licensed instructors with at least three years of experience in the relevant cosmetology services.

The bill also mandates that the owner or manager of the secondary school facility display the facility license and instructor licenses prominently. Regular inspections by the department are required to ensure compliance with the new regulations, and the license will become void upon changes in ownership or location of the facility. Furthermore, the department is tasked with promulgating rules to implement this section within 18 months of the bill's effective date. Definitions for "secondary school facility" and "secondary school facility license" are also provided to clarify the scope of the new regulations.
