SF 4217 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Board of Cosmetologist Examiners provisions modifications

This bill modifies the Minnesota Board of Cosmetologist Examiners by updating how board members are appointed and defining key terms used in cosmetology regulations. It changes the board composition to include seven members with specific representation from cosmetologists, school instructors, advanced practice estheticians, nail technicians, and a public member, while requiring all appointed members to hold current licenses and have at least five years of experience in the field. The legislation also clarifies definitions for cosmetologists, estheticians, salons, and schools, and establishes new categories for managers and school administrators to ensure clearer regulatory oversight. Additionally, the bill sets specific license fees and repeals an outdated statute to streamline the regulatory framework for cosmetology professionals in Minnesota.
