H 121 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 1st Regular Session (2025)

BARBERS AND COSMETOLOGISTS – Amends and repeals existing law to provide for the de-licensure of makeup artists.

Idaho's H 121 removes a requirement for makeup artists to obtain a separate certificate under the state's barber and cosmetology licensing system. The bill repeals Section 54-5811 (which governed makeup artist certificates) and amends definitions to eliminate the term "makeup artist" from the law. This change directly affects individuals who currently need this certificate to work in makeup artistry, removing an administrative barrier. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and does not impact existing licenses for barbers, cosmetologists, or estheticians.
