The bill H. 3481 proposes to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new section, 40-13-265, which allows licensed cosmetologists, estheticians, and nail technicians to provide their services in clients' homes or at specific event venues, such as churches or hotels, upon client request and with the venue's permission. Additionally, the bill mandates that all equipment used in these off-site services must be properly sanitized to ensure client safety.

Furthermore, the bill amends Section 40-13-110 of the Code, which outlines the grounds for revocation, suspension, or restriction of licenses issued by the Board of Cosmetology. The amendment specifically modifies the language regarding the practice of cosmetology outside of licensed salons, allowing for exceptions in emergencies, such as illness or death, where services can be provided by appointment only. This legislation aims to expand the scope of practice for licensed cosmetology professionals while maintaining safety and regulatory standards.
