COSMETOLOGY LICENSURE H.B. 4799 (S-2): FLOOR ANALYSIS
House Bill 4799 (Substitute S-2 as reported) Sponsor: Representative Ilona Varga
House Committee: Regulatory Affairs
Senate Committee: Economic Development, International Trade and Regulatory Affairs
The bill would amend the Occupational Code to provide for separate licensing requirements for estheticians (skin care specialists) and for various instructor’s licenses; to create a limited instructor’s license and a limited specialist instructor’s license; to require the Department of Consumer and Industry Services to inspect cosmetology establishments and schools; and to change some of the licensure application requirements for the establishments and schools.
The bill is tie-barred to House Bill 4798. House Bill 4798 (S-1) would amend the State License Fee Act to specify that the license fees for estheticians would be the same as those in current law for cosmetologists, manicurists, and electrologists, i.e., an application processing fee of $10; an examination fee of $25; and an annual license fee of $12.

House Bills 4798 (S-2) and 4799 (S-1) would create one new category of occupations for licensure under the Occupational Code for cosmetology--estheticians. The current fee structure established for cosmetologists and manicurists would be applied to this new profession for examinations, applications, and license renewals. According to the Department of Consumer and Industry Services, it is difficult to determine how many additional licenses this change would generate, but the additional revenue these fees generated would be used to offset the additional administrative costs incurred by the Department for the regulation of these occupations.
