House Bill 3149 amends the Occupations Code to establish an inactive status for a cosmetology certificate or license. The bill authorizes a cosmetology certificate or license holder to submit paperwork to the Texas Cosmetology Commission requesting inactive status before the certificate or license expires and requires payment of a fee. The bill provides for maintaining inactive status and specifies that a person with an inactive certificate or license is not required to comply with continuing education requirements and is prohibited from engaging in activities that require an active certificate or license. The bill also prohibits licensed operators of cosmetology programs or businesses from employing a person with an inactive certificate or license to practice or teach cosmetology. The bill provides for the reactivation of a person's certificate or license by fulfilling certain specified actions.
