This 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 is the re-creation of the Board, extending its sunset date from July 1, 2025, to July 1, 2027. The Board will continue to consist of eleven members appointed by the Governor, with specific qualifications required for each member, including practical experience in cosmetology or barbering. The bill also outlines the process for filling vacancies, the terms of office, and the quorum needed for conducting business.

Additionally, the bill establishes that the Board must report its financial activities and work to the Governor annually and allows for the expenditure of funds for office space. The effective date of the bill is set for July 1, 2026, and it includes an emergency clause to ensure immediate implementation upon passage and approval.
