The bill, S. 352, is a joint resolution that seeks to approve new regulations proposed by the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation - State Board of Cosmetology concerning licensure for out-of-state applicants. These regulations are designated as Regulation Document Number 5307 and have been submitted to the General Assembly in accordance with Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the South Carolina Code of Laws. The resolution indicates that the proposed changes are intended to revise the existing licensure process for individuals seeking to practice cosmetology in South Carolina after obtaining their qualifications in other states.

Upon approval by the Governor, this joint resolution will take effect, allowing the new regulations to be implemented. The State Board of Cosmetology had previously published a Notice of Drafting regarding these changes in the State Register on August 23, 2024, signaling the beginning of the regulatory revision process.
