Offering a Translation to the Proposed Regulatory changes
 

In reading the VA Proposed Amendment in the Regulatory Code for Barbers and Cosmetologists, it appears as though they are attempting to amend the regulations for schools of cosmetology and barbers as it pertains to the teaching of public safety, hygiene, and cleanliness.  If I am reading this correctly, it appears that they are proposing to amend the regulations  requiring greater emphasis on these areas of the teaching and  practice of cosmetology to better educate new students of cosmetology in the importance of maintaining public safety, hygiene and cleanliness, and the prevention of the spread of disease, bacteria, injury, etc.  It does not indicate anything about requiring CE courses or increasing renewal fees.
