Action:
Temporary License Extension
Action 6451
General Information
| Action Summary |
The Board for Barbers and Cosmetology (“the Board”) seeks to amend the Barbering and Cosmetology Regulations and the Esthetics Regulations to extend temporary licenses from 45 days to 90 days and eliminate a requirement that applicants register for the license examination prior to being issued a temporary license.
Under the current regulations, qualified applicants for barbering, cosmetology, nail technician, wax technician, and esthetician licenses are granted a 45-day temporary license to work under licensed professionals while waiting to take and pass the exam. Prior to being issued a temporary license, applicants must register to take the exam.
Under the revised regulations individuals completing a training program, or a registered apprenticeship, can submit the appropriate documentation to the Board to receive a 90-day temporary license. Individuals issued a 90-day temporary license can work under licensed professionals and earn income while waiting to take and pass the board-required examination.
