Requires cosmetology and hairstyling licensees to complete domestic violence sensitivity and response training.
This bill requires cosmetology, hairstyling, barbering, and skin care licensees in New Jersey to complete one hour of domestic violence sensitivity and response training before finishing their education program. The training must cover recognizing abuse signs and available victim resources. The State Board of Cosmetology must establish standards for approved training providers, develop multilingual (English, Spanish, Korean, and top 3 other local languages) prevention materials on the Consumer Affairs website, and provide licensees with resources to educate clients. Practitioners and their employers are protected from civil/criminal liability when acting in good faith regarding domestic violence concerns.
