This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to establish ongoing Cosmetology and Barber Training programs through Career and Technical Centers (CTCs) in Pennsylvania. The amendments remove the term "Pilot" from both the Cosmetology and Barber Training programs, indicating a transition from a temporary pilot initiative to a permanent program. Additionally, the deadlines for reporting information to the State Boards of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners have been extended from June 30, 2023, to May 31, 2026, and the previous expiration clause for the pilot programs has been deleted, allowing these training programs to continue indefinitely.

The changes aim to enhance vocational training opportunities in cosmetology and barbering, ensuring that CTCs and secondary schools can provide these educational programs without the constraints of a pilot status. The act is set to take effect on June 30, 2025, or immediately, depending on which occurs later.
