AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT
Barbers and cosmetologists often offer their services to participants who are preparing for a special event, such as a wedding. There is concern, however, that provision of these services at a location other than a licensed facility could be problematic under the law. It is noted that offering such services at a place other than a licensed facility would better serve clients. H.B. 104 seeks to amend the applicable law to address this concern.
H.B. 104 amends current law relating to the practice of barbering and cosmetology at certain events.
