Committee Report (Substituted) |
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Interested parties note that recently enacted legislation sought to phase out onerous and unnecessary requirements relating to shampooing and conditioning hair. The parties contend that further deregulation of such activities is needed and that the removal of the applicable requirements would pose minimal risk to consumers. C.S.H.B. 340 seeks to provide for such deregulation.

ANALYSIS
C.S.H.B. 340 repeals Occupations Code provisions relating to shampoo apprentice permits and establishes that such a previously issued permit and a previously issued shampoo specialty certificate expire on the bill's effective date. The bill amends the Occupations Code to remove shampooing and conditioning a person's hair from the definitions of "barbering," "practicing barbering," "practice of barbering," and "cosmetology" and from the barbering and cosmetology activities authorized to be performed under a barber technician license or a hair weaving specialty certificate, respectively. The bill removes the prohibition against a person holding a beauty shop license or specialty shop license employing a person to shampoo or condition a person's hair unless the person holds a shampoo apprentice permit or student permit and repeals provisions relating to the shampooing or conditioning of a person's hair by a student permit holder and the employment of a student permit holder for such purposes.
C.S.H.B. 340 repeals the following provisions of the Occupations Code: · Section 1601.260(c) · Section 1601.261 · Section 1601.301(c) · Section 1602.266(c) · Section 1602.267 · Section 1602.301(c) · Section 1602.456(b-1)
