The bill amends the Barbers and Cosmetologists Act to provide an exemption for make-up artists and hairstylists who are employed specifically for theatrical or cinematic productions. This change recognizes the unique nature of their work in the entertainment industry and allows them to operate without the regulatory requirements that typically apply to barbers and cosmetologists.

The specific legal language added to the existing law includes the insertion of "persons who are employed as make-up artists or hairstylists for theatrical or cinematic productions" as a new category of exemption. This addition expands the list of professionals exempt from the Barbers and Cosmetologists Act, which already includes various licensed medical professionals and those providing specific services like eyebrow-threading.
