Boards and Commissions - As introduced, requires the state board of cosmetology and barber examiners to create and maintain a student identification number for each applicant accruing instructional hours; prohibits the board from using a student's social security number as a public-facing identifier of the person. - Amends TCA Title 62, Chapter 3 and Title 62, Chapter 4.
SB 1800 requires Tennessee's cosmetology and barber licensing boards to assign unique student identification numbers instead of Social Security Numbers (SSNs) for tracking instructional hours. It directly affects cosmetology and barber students, instructors, and applicants who need to document training hours before taking exams or receiving licenses. The key provision prohibits using SSNs as public-facing identifiers on forms or reports, mandating the use of the new student ID system throughout the licensing process. This change applies specifically to filings under Titles 62, Chapters 3 and 4 of Tennessee law, aiming to reduce public exposure of sensitive SSN data.
