Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill requires the Barbering and Cosmetology Examining Board to require
all licensed cosmetologists, barbers, aestheticians, electrologists, and manicurists
(licensees) to attend a course in recognizing victims of domestic abuse or violence and
referring the victims to appropriate agencies for assistance. The bill requires the
board to design a course, determine how often the licensees must attend, and design
a training program that would allow licensees who have attended the course to train
others.
