     This bill allows an applicant seeking licensure as a teacher from the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling to receive a temporary permit while waiting for the teacher licensure examination to be scheduled. The temporary permit would be valid for 120 days and is to expire when the applicant receives a license as a teacher from the board. Currently, temporary permits are only allowed for applicants for practicing licenses issued by the board.
