Committee approves substitute to let cosmetology schools operate secondary licensed facilities
Summary
The committee adopted the H‑1 substitute for House Bill 5403 to allow cosmetology schools to hold secondary‑facility licenses and voted to report the bill with recommendation.
House Bill 5403, introduced by Representative Neely, would allow licensed cosmetology schools to operate secondary licensed facilities under a single school license, easing administrative burdens when opening branches.
Rep. Neely said the substitute lays out specific requirements to ensure quality and safety while helping schools expand ‘‘without the stress of multiple new or independent businesses.’’ Several industry groups and academies registered support; some witnesses did not wish to speak but were recorded on testimony cards.
Representative Scott moved to adopt the H‑1 substitute; the committee approved the substitute (roll‑call recorded) and later voted to report the bill with recommendation as Substitute 1.
Next steps: With the substitute adopted and the bill reported, the measure may be scheduled for further House consideration.
