Revises membership of New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling.
S 3501 revises the membership structure of the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling, expanding it from 13 to 15 members. The bill adds two members representing public school vocational programs in cosmetology and two members representing private cosmetology schools, while reducing the number of public members from three to two. It also updates the requirement for six licensed professional members, now allowing any licensed cosmetologist, barber, or hairstylist (instead of specific roles like beauticians) to fill those positions. These changes directly affect the board's composition and how it represents industry professionals and educational institutions.
