LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 384, Bradford.
Barbering and cosmetology.
Existing law, the Barbering and Cosmetology Act, provides for the licensure and regulation of the practices of barbering, cosmetology, electrolysis, hairstyling, skin care, and nail care by the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology. Under existing law, the board is authorized to assess administrative fines for a violation of the act or a violation of any rules and regulations adopted by the board pursuant to the act. Existing law requires the board to determine by regulation when a fine is required to be assessed to both the establishment license holder and the individual licensee for the same violation and also when a fine is required to be assessed to only the establishment license holder or to only the individual licensee for the same violation.
This bill would require the board to establish by regulation a board-offered remedial education
program, in lieu of a first offense of a health and safety violation. The bill would authorize the board to impose a fee to cover the reasonable regulatory cost of administering the program.
