	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Eggman
   (Coauthor: Senator Wyland)

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Sections 7324 and 7364 of the Business and
Professions Code, relating to barbering and cosmetology.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1153, as introduced, Eggman. Esthetician: advanced skin care
course.
   Existing law requires an applicant for an esthetician license to
meet certain educational requirements and authorizes the State Board
of Barbering and Cosmetology to approve schools that are licensed by
the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education, or a
public school in this state, and that provide a course of instruction
approved by the board. A skin care course established by a school
consists of not less than 600 hours of practical training and
technical instruction in accordance with a curriculum established by
board regulation.
   This bill would allow a school to establish an advanced skin care
course of not less than 600 hours of practical training and technical
instruction in accordance with a curriculum established by board
regulation. The advanced skin care course would not be a requirement
of obtaining an esthetician license.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
