This bill revises the statutory provisions relating to reciprocity requirements for barbers, cosmetologists, and aestheticians. Currently an applicant from a state with licensure standards less stringent than those of Delaware must show 5 continuous years of practice in the other state immediately preceding application to Delaware, in order to receive a Delaware license under reciprocity provisions. Under this revision, the applicant is required to show work in the other jurisdiction for 3 out of the last 5 years. This will offer more flexibility for the applicant who has had a break in employment in his or her profession but nevertheless ensures that reciprocity applicants have sufficient experience.

An Act To Amend Title 24 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Cosmetology, Barbering, And Licensure Of Aestheticians.
