Modifies languages that examinations are to be conducted in for applicants seeking professional license issued by New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling.

This bill requires the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling to offer professional licensing examinations in English and the four most commonly spoken languages in the state (other than English), instead of only English with optional Spanish for practicing licensees. It mandates the Division of Consumers Affairs to post these four languages on its website and update the list every five years based on current language usage. The change applies to both new applicants and practicing licensees seeking renewal or additional certifications. The bill modifies existing law to expand language access for exam-takers without altering the requirement for practical and written exam components.
