This bill amends the State License Fee Act of 1979 by updating sections 9 and 25, which pertain to the fees associated with the publication and distribution of public acts and the licensing of cosmetology professionals. The amendments allow the department to charge a fee for the publication and distribution of the public act that provides a board's authority, with the fee now being the cost of publication rather than a fixed amount. Additionally, the bill modifies the fee structure for various licenses and permits related to cosmetology, including application processing fees, examination fees, and annual license fees, with specific amounts outlined for each category.

Notably, the bill introduces a provision that allows the department to increase fees annually based on the average percentage wage and salary increase for classified civil service employees. It also mandates that the department provide a complete schedule of fees to relevant legislative committees by August 1 each year. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 4692.
