Committee unanimously backs bills to make barber and cosmetology CTC pilots permanent
Summary
Lawmakers voted unanimously to report two bills that would make career‑and‑technical center pilot programs for barbering and cosmetology permanent under the State Board of Cosmetology.
The House Education Committee unanimously reported two bills—House Bill 16 26 and House Bill 16 27—that would convert cosmetology and barber training pilot programs run through career and technical centers into permanent programs under the State Board of Cosmetology.
A committee staff member summarized House Bill 16 26 as amending the public school code to make cosmetology training via career and technical center pilots a permanent program in the State Board of Cosmetology. Later, staff clarified House Bill 16 27 carried a similar change; the reader apologized for a prior misstatement that had conflated the two bills.
Chair Koller voiced support for both measures, asking members to back the permanent extension and noting the concept had been included previously in omnibus legislation. There was no recorded opposition or further debate, and both bills were reported out of committee by unanimous consent.
Both measures will be reported as committed and proceed to the next stage of the legislative process.
