STATEMENT

    This bill provides that a manicure shop may qualify for a shop license if it has a licensed manicurist to generally oversee the management of the shop. Currently, those shops must have a licensed beautician, barber or cosmetologist-hairstylist with three years experience or a licensed beautician or cosmetologist-hairstylist with a manager-operator license by the Board of Beauty Culture Control to generally oversee the management of the shop to obtain a shop license.

Allows manicure shop to be licensed with oversight by licensed manicurist.
