An act to amend Section 7423 of the Business and Professions Code, relating to professions.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 817, as introduced, Roth.
Barbering and cosmetology: application, examination, and licensing fees.
Existing law establishes in the Business, Consumer Services, and Housing Agency the Department of Consumer Affairs. Existing law establishes various boards within the department for the licensure, regulation, and discipline of various professions and vocations. Existing law establishes the Barbering and Cosmetology Act, under the administration of the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology, for the licensure and regulation of barbers and cosmetologists. Existing law specifies a hairstylist’s application and examination fee shall be $50, or an amount as determined by the board, not to exceed the reasonable cost of developing, purchasing, grading, and administering the examination, and not to exceed $50.
This bill would instead require that the hairstylist application and examination fee be the actual cost to the board for developing, purchasing,
grading, and administering the examination, and limit a hairstylist’s initial license fee to $50.
