The bill amends Section 199.2 of Title 59 of the Oklahoma Statutes, which pertains to the State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering. The key change in this legislation is the extension of the Board's termination date from July 1, 2024, to July 1, 2028, effectively re-creating the Board in accordance with the Oklahoma Sunset Law. The composition of the Board remains the same, consisting of eleven members appointed by the Governor, with specific qualifications and representation requirements, including members with practical experience in cosmetology and barbering, as well as laypersons and school administrators.
Additionally, the bill outlines the terms of office for Board members, stipulating that they serve four-year terms ending on June 30, and establishes procedures for filling vacancies and removing members. The Board is also required to report its financial activities and work to the Governor annually and is authorized to expend funds for office space and adopt a common seal for official documents. Overall, this legislation aims to ensure the continued operation and oversight of the State Board of Cosmetology and Barbering for an extended period.
