This bill amends section 38-1001 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to establish a temporary event license for body artists attending specific events. The Department of Health and Human Services is tasked with creating and issuing this nonrenewable license, which allows individuals to practice body art for up to seven consecutive days within a twelve-month period, with a limit of two licenses per individual in that timeframe. To qualify for the event license, applicants must hold a valid license from another state and submit various documents, including a completed application, proof of age, and a sponsorship letter from a licensed body art facility.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for the event license, including a fee of fifty dollars, and mandates that the department may conduct inspections of the body art facilities where the events will take place. Violations of the provisions set forth in this section will incur penalties similar to those for individuals or facilities holding a permanent body art license. The original section 38-1001 is repealed, and the act is declared to take effect immediately due to the existence of an emergency.
