House Bill 1304 amends the Occupations Code to require a person who holds a barbering or cosmetology license, certificate, or permit to sterilize and disinfect nondisposable instruments with an autoclave or dry heat, ultraviolet, or other board-approved sterilizer before using them to perform a manicure or pedicure service. The bill provides that the facility owner or manager is responsible for providing a sterilizer that meets certain requirements and that disposable supplies or instruments may be used only if purchased on-site or provided by the person receiving the service.
