AN ACT TO AMEND SECTIONS 73-7-11 AND 73-7-19, MISSISSIPPI CODE OF 1972, TO REQUIRE THAT EACH LICENSE ISSUED BY THE STATE BOARD OF COSMETOLOGY CONTAIN A CURRENT PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPH OF THE LICENSE HOLDER; TO REQUIRE APPLICANTS FOR LICENSE RENEWAL TO SUBMIT TWO CURRENT PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPHS WITH THE RENEWAL APPLICATION; AND FOR RELATED PURPOSES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI:
SECTION 1. Section 73-7-11, Mississippi Code of 1972, is amended as follows:
73-7-11. Each owner of a license issued by the board under the provisions of this chapter shall display the license in a conspicuous place in his or her principal office, place of business or employment, at all times.
Each license shall contain a
current * * *
passport photograph of the license holder, the person's name, and the
type of license held by the person. The requirements of this section shall
apply at the time of issuance of a new license * * * and at the time of renewal of an
existing license.
SECTION 2. Section 73-7-19, Mississippi Code of 1972, is amended as follows:
73-7-19. (1) Except as provided in Section 33-1-39, all licenses shall be renewed biennially under the fee schedule in Section 73-7-29. Applications for renewal of licenses for cosmetologists, estheticians, manicurists and instructors must be accompanied by the required renewal fee and two (2) current passport photographs of the applicant. A grace period of sixty (60) days will be given in which to renew the license; and upon the expiration of the grace period of sixty (60) days, any applicant for the renewal of a license will be required to pay the required renewal fee and a delinquent fee in addition to the renewal fee. The fees may be paid by either personal or certified check, cash or money order, under such safeguards, rules and regulations as the board may prescribe. Checks returned to the board because of insufficient funds shall result in nonrenewal of the license, which will require the penalty fee for insufficient fund checks plus all other amounts due for renewal of the license before the license may be renewed. After one (1) year has passed from the expiration date of the license, a delinquent fee must be paid for each year up to three (3) years, after which the required examination must be taken. All applications for examination required by this chapter shall expire ninety (90) days from the date thereof.
