Action:
Bathroom Requirements for Facilities
Action 5963
General Information
| Action Summary |
The Board for Barbers and Cosmetology seeks to remove its current requirement that salons, shops, spas, and schools maintain a separate bathroom exclusively for client use. The existing requirement prevents these licensees from sharing a bathroom with other businesses. The proposed amendment to the existing regulation would allow facilities to share a bathroom with other businesses, as long as the bathroom meets all the sanitation requirements in the regulations and the bathroom is reasonably close to the entrance. The Board proposes to change the requirement to the bathroom shall be available for client use, within 200 feet of the entrance and must adhere to all sanitation standards in 18 VA 41-70-270 or 18 VA 41-20-270. |
