DIGEST AND PURPOSE 

The current statutes governing the cosmetology industry require an
applicant for a cosmetology license to submit, as part of the licence
application, a health certificate signed by medical staff indicating that
the applicant is free of tuberculosis or contagious diseases.  This health

applications.  H.B. 3174 repeals this requirement for new and renewal
licenses.
