KY House committee OK's Barber and Hairdresser fee bill

Frankfort, KY - Licensing and renewal fees for barbers, cosmetologists and related trades would be set by regulation, not by law, under a bill that has passed a House committee.

Rep. Robby Mills, R-Henderson, sponsor of House Bill 260, said provisions removing existing fees from state law and allowing state boards to set their fees by administrative regulation is one of two substantive changes proposed by the bill. The other would allow board inspectors on the premises of shops and salons to review paperwork related to board-licensed activities.



Both changes are supported by the state Board of Hairdressers and Cosmetologists and the Board of Barbering, said Mills.

"These folks regulate and oversee thousands of licensees. I think it's important for them to be able to make sure that public safety and rules are being followed by all the barbershops and salons," Mills told the House Licensing, Occupations and Administrative Regulations Committee before it voted to approve the bill.

HB 260 would also include so-called clean-up language in other areas. It proposes changing the required training hours for estheticians and nail technicians and adds definitions for certain trades, among other provisions.

Rep. Diane St. Onge, R-Fort Wright, said she supports the bill, as does her hairdresser.

"My hairdresser on Monday read through the bill while she was doing my hair," St. Onge told the committee. "She was extremely pleased and very thankful for this bill."

HB 260 now goes to the full House for consideration.
