	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to certain prohibited practices by a barber or
	cosmetologist.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Subchapter E-1, Chapter 1603, Occupations Code,
	is amended by adding Section 1603.2110 to read as follows:
	Sec. 1603.2110. PROHIBITED PRACTICES. (a) Except as
	provided by Subsection (b), a person performing a barbering or
	cosmetology service within the scope of a license or permit issued
	under this subchapter may not:
	(1) make an incision into the dermis layer of a
	person's skin, including for purposes of injecting a medication or
	other substance; or
	(2) use a prescription medical device approved by the
	United States Food and Drug Administration.
	(b) A person holding a license or permit issued under this
	subchapter may perform an act described by Subsection (a) as part of
	a barbering or cosmetology service if the person is licensed to
	perform that act in this state or is otherwise authorized by law to
	perform that act. In a disciplinary action by the commission
	related to an act in violation of Subsection (a), the license or
	permit holder has the burden of proving by a preponderance of the
	evidence that the person is licensed or otherwise authorized to
	perform the act.
	(c) This section does not affect the authority of another
	state agency regulating a profession to enforce any law related to
	that profession.
	SECTION 2. Section 1603.2110, Occupations Code, as added by
	this Act, applies only to conduct that occurs on or after the
	effective date of this Act. Conduct that occurs before the
	effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the
	date the conduct occurred, and the former law is continued in effect
	for that purpose.
	SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
