The bill would amend the Occupations Code to allow for Cosmetology Operators to hold a Barber license and a Barber to hold a Cosmetology Operator license resulting in an increase in the number of Class A Barbers and Cosmetology Operators. The bill also adds the shampoo apprentice permit, reduces requirements on barber and cosmetology schools, revises the instructor to student ratio and simplifies the requirements for obtaining a Barber Instructor License.
The bill would repeal the following sections of the Occupations Code: Sections 1601.001(a)(5), 1601.354, 1601.355; and 1602.403(b).
The bill would take effect September 1, 2011.
Information and estimates provided by the Department of Licensing and Regulation were used as the basis of developing this analysis. For the purpose of this analysis it is assumed that in fiscal year 2012 no new barber schools, cosmetology schools, dual licensure or shampoo apprentice permits would occur. In fiscal year 2013, it is assumed that 5 new Barber Schools and 50 new Cosmetology Schools would open and that 1,100 Cosmetology Operators and 134 Barbers would obtain dual licensure which would result in an anticipated revenue gain of $56,422. In fiscal year 2014, it is assumed that only the Barber and Cosmetology schools would have to renew their licenses resulting in an anticipated revenue gain of $11,500. In fiscal year 2015, it is assumed that the Barber schools, Cosmetology schools, dual licensure and shampoo apprentices would be required to renew their licenses resulting in a revenue gain of $27,922. In fiscal year 2016, only the Barber and Cosmetology schools will have to renew their licenses resulting in a revenue gain of $11,500.
Based on information provided by the Department of Licensing and Regulation, it is assumed that the agency would assess fees in accordance with existing fees for Barbers and Cosmetologists as well as for schools. The new cosmetology fees would also be within the realm of fees charged to Cosmetologists.
Based on the analysis of the Department of Licensing and Regulation, it is assumed that duties and responsibilities associated with implementing the provisions of the bill could be accomplished by utilizing existing resources.
