An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in career and technical education, further providing for Cosmetology Training Through Career and Technical Center Pilot Program.
SB 878 converts Pennsylvania's temporary "Cosmetology Training Through Career and Technical Center Pilot Program" into a permanent state program under the Public School Code. It requires participating career and technical centers (CTCs) and high schools to annually report training data to the State Board of Cosmetology. Existing rules, contracts, and agreements established during the pilot phase remain in effect under the permanent program. The bill directly affects CTCs and secondary schools offering cosmetology training through career and technical education programs.
