An Act amending the act of May 3, 1933 (P.L.242, No.86), referred to as the Cosmetology Law, further providing for powers and duties of board.
HB 59 amends Pennsylvania's Cosmetology Law to create new "Inspector, State Board of Cosmetology" positions. These inspectors must be licensed cosmetologists with at least five years of active practice and are appointed by the board. The bill grants inspectors authority to enter cosmetology businesses (salons, schools, etc.) for inspections, complaint investigations, and other board-directed matters. This directly affects cosmetology professionals, salons, and schools by adding a new oversight role to enforce licensing and safety regulations.
