An Act to mandate domestic violence and sexual assault awareness education

This bill requires cosmetology schools and post-secondary institutions teaching cosmetology to include at least one hour of approved domestic violence and sexual assault awareness training in their curriculum. It directly affects cosmetology students and schools by mandating this training as part of their professional education. The bill also requires cosmetology businesses to display a multilingual sign (in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, and other languages as determined) with the National Human Trafficking Hotline contact information. Additionally, it provides legal protection for students, licensees, or employers who act in good faith regarding domestic violence or sexual assault concerns during cosmetology practice or enrollment.
