DESCRIPTION
This proposal creates a new license classification for cosmetologists to be known as Class CB - braider. Braiders are required to take a course of study of at least 600 hours or the credit hours determined by the formula in Subpart A of Part 668 of Section 668.8 of Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as amended. The student must earn a minimum of 100 hours or equivalent credits of classroom training before performing any acts of hair braiding on a patron or customer of a cosmetology school. Braiders may also apply for licensure if they have completed a minimum of 1,200 hours as an apprentice under the supervision of a licensed cosmetologist.
This proposal is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. This proposal will increase state revenue.
