| Title: |
Administrative Rules For Barbers, Cosmetologist, Estheticians & Nail Technicians. |
|
Type:
|
Standard |
|
Status:
|
Adopted |
| Agency: |
Office of Professional Regulation, Office of the Secretary of State
|
| Legal Authority: |
26 V.S.A. § 276(a)(1); 3 V.S.A. § 123(a)(11); and 3 V.S.A. § 801(11) |
| Summary:
| By Act 144 (Adj. Sess.), § 12, eff. Jan. 1, 2019, the General Assembly converted the regulatory model governing the cosmetology-related professions from board-based regulation to advisor-based regulation by the Director of Professional Regulation. Act 144 recalibrated educational requirements to reduce barriers to marketplace entry. Act 144 also recognized that demand for cosmetology-related services exists outside traditional shop settings. These rules implement the Act by setting necessary qualifications and standards, and by anticipating entrepreneurial demand to provide services in unconventional settings. |
| Persons Affected:
| Barbers, cosmetologists, estheticians, nail technicians, barber shops, cosmetology shops, schools of cosmetology, the Vermont Agency of Education, the Vermont Department of Health. |
| Economic Impact:
| These rules substantially reduce regulatory burdens to entry for aspirants to professional licensure in the cosmetology-related professions and improve the availability and structure of apprenticeships. It is expected that temporal and monetary investment necessary to enter the affected professions will be reduced by one-third to one-half by comparison to the burden under the existing regulatory model. By relieving regulatory supply constraints and overhead to new entrants to the field, these rules can be expected to reduce costs to Vermont businesses and the consumers of beauty services those businesses serve. |
