Action:
Repeal of Hair Braiding Regulatory Program
Action 3718
 
General Information
Action Summary After a comprehensive review across state government, Governor McDonnell’s Commission on Government Reform and Restructuring recommended de-regulation of the mold program. At its 2012 Session, the General Assembly passed legislation endorsing the proposal to de-regulate the hair braider program, and Governor McDonnell signed the bills (HB 1291 and SB 678 – Chapter 803 of the Acts of Assembly). By statute, effective July 1, 2012, hair braiding will revert to being un-regulated activity, meaning state credentials will not be required to perform this activity. Therefore, the Hair Braiding Regulations must be repealed.
