The specific legal language change is reflected in the amendment to RSA 313-A:11, I(c)(1), where the phrase "1,500" is deleted and replaced with "1,200."

The bill is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, with an approval date of June 10, 2025, making the effective date August 9, 2025. This change aims to streamline the licensing process for aspiring cosmetologists by lowering the training hour requirement.
