Committee hears bills to allow cosmetology secondary facilities, update licensing fees
Summary
Lawmakers and cosmetology school operators testified in favor of House Bills 4692 and 4693, which would allow cosmetology schools to operate secondary facilities for theory instruction and update licensing fees.

House Bill 4693, offered by Representative Liberati, would update licensing fees that participants said have not kept pace with the industry.
