| Action Summary | The amendments to the Barbering and Cosmetology Regulations are adopted as necessary for participation by Virginia in the Cosmetology Compact which allows a cosmetologist who has obtained a multistate license through the Compact Commission the privilege to practice in the Commonwealth without a Virginia license. To comply with Compact rules, all applicants for licensure are required to have criminal history checks, and holders of a multistate license are required to adhere to the laws and regulations governing practice in the compact state in which they practice. A member state may set a fee that is charged to obtain and renew a multistate license in that state. An amendment will set the fee in Virginia at $50, which is similar to the fee charged by other states. |
