HB 497
AN ACT relating to cosmetology, esthetics, and nail technology.
In Plain Language
This law lets cosmetologists, estheticians, and nail technicians licensed in other states get licensed in this state more easily through reciprocal agreements. It also allows people to qualify for a license based on work experience instead of just classroom training, and specifically includes military members and their spouses in these options. The law removes an old rule about reciprocal licensing and continuing education requirements.
Official summary
Create new sections of KRS Chapter 317A to allow reciprocal licensing for cosmetologists, estheticians, and nail technicians; include work experience as a basis for licensure; explicitly include military personnel and spouses; repeal KRS 317A.100, relating to reciprocal licensing and continuing education.
