STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS26776
The proposed legislation would exempt those working in facilities licensed by the Department of Health and
Welfare, Division of Licensing and Certification, from being required to have a cosmetology license. The
proposed exemption would include nurses and those who are delegated by a nurse to perform cosmetology
services, as well as aides and volunteers who perform certain cosmetology services. The licensed facilities
licensed by the Division of Licensing and Certification include: Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities,
Certified Family Homes, Intermediate Care Facilities and Hospitals. The exemption contained in the
proposed legislation would simply codify what has been the standard in licensed facilities for decades.
FISCAL NOTE
Fiscal Impact: There would be no fiscal impact to the general fund, or the boards that regulate the
licensed facilities or the Board of Barbers and Cosmetology because these unregulated providers of certain
cosmetology services would continue to unregulated. In addition, there would be no impact to licensure
fees because no new fees are being added or subtracted under the proposed legislation.
