Idaho Bills

Amends existing law to provide that a licensee may practice event styling or demonstrate the use of thermal styling equipment away from a licensed presence.

This legislation is a trailer to House Bill 139. That bill combined cosmetology and barber occupational licensure boards. The bill also decreased barriers to employment by exempting from licensure individuals who engage only in event styling and exempting from licensure businesses that only provide demonstrations of thermal styling products. Because House Bill 139 will take effect July 1, those individuals engaged in these business practices would be denied employment opportunities until the law takes effect. This bill would allow those exemptions to take effect from and after passage and approval. The bill would be null and void on July 1, when House Bill 139 takes effect.
