IN RE:	HB3978 by Jones, Delwin (Relating to authorizing certain cosmetology license holders to be provisionally licensed as instructors.), As Introduced

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Occupations Code to require the Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) to issue a provisional instructor license, valid for one year, to a cosmetologist who has completed at least three years of current verifiable experience as a licensed operator.

Based on information provided by TDLR, it is assumed that any additional costs related to the duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be covered by utilizing existing resources.

The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to each house; otherwise the bill would take effect immediately.
