The 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. To obtain this license, applicants must submit a detailed application that includes the intended use of the facility, its address, and a comprehensive floor plan. The secondary school facility must comply with specific criteria, such as not offering cosmetology services to the public and ensuring that all training is conducted by licensed instructors with at least three years of experience. Additionally, the facility must pass an inspection by the department.

The bill also stipulates that the secondary school facility license must be prominently displayed, and the department is responsible for regular inspections to ensure compliance. If there is a change in ownership or location of the facility, the license becomes void, necessitating a new application for continued operation. The department is required to develop rules for implementing this section within 18 months of the bill's enactment. The definitions of "secondary school facility" and "secondary school facility license" are also provided to clarify the scope of the new regulations.
