The bill, S.B. No. 748, aims to regulate laser hair removal in Texas by amending existing provisions in the Health and Safety Code. Specifically, it modifies Section 401.5011 to clarify that the executive director is responsible for administering and enforcing the subchapter related to laser hair removal, replacing the term "chapter" with "subchapter." Additionally, the bill repeals Sections 401.516(b) and (c), which may pertain to previous regulations or requirements that are no longer deemed necessary.

The proposed changes are set to take effect on September 1, 2025, allowing for a transition period for stakeholders in the laser hair removal industry to adapt to the new regulatory framework. Overall, the bill seeks to streamline the regulatory process and ensure that the administration of laser hair removal services is effectively managed.
