 18        54-827.  PERMIT TO TEMPORARILY PRACTICE, DEMONSTRATE OR TEACH COSMETOLOGY.
 19    (1) Upon application, and payment of the required fee, the board shall grant a
 20    temporary permit authorizing a person to practice, demonstrate or teach cosme-
 21    tology, or perform any one (1) or more of  such  functions  in  the  following
 22    instances:
 23        (a)  When  a student or apprentice has completed his or her training, such
 24        temporary permit to be valid only until  said  student  or  apprentice  is
 25        called by the board for examination and until the results of said examina-
 26        tion are announced.

 39        permit be for a period in excess of thirty (30) days.
 40        (db)  When a permit is requested for educational or demonstration purposes
 41        by a licensed school on behalf of its students  currently  enrolled  or  a
 42        licensed cosmetologist on behalf of an apprentice. When a permit is issued
 43        for  this purpose, it shall specify those students or apprentices eligible
 44        to participate and the time and place of the education demonstration;  and
 45        the permit shall be limited to those individuals and time and place. In no
 46        instance shall the permit be for a period in excess of seven (7) days.
 47        (2)  Facilities  used  for  cosmetological  services  pursuant to a permit
 48    obtained under subsection (1)(ca) or (1)(db) of this section shall  be  exempt
 49    from  the requirements for licensed establishments set forth in section 54-803
 50    1., Idaho Code. However, the facility and permit holder shall observe and com-
 51    ply with the inspection and sanitation requirements established by board rule.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                       RS 10486

Currently only licensed cosmetologists and electrologists 
can obtain instructor licenses. This change will allow nail 
and esthetician licensees to be come licensed as instructors.  
Raising the minimum education level for licensure will require 
prospective licensees to completea high school education 
equivalent before becoming eligible for licensure. The minimum 
education level for registration as a student is not being 
raised, which will allow enrollment in cosmetology school 
while completing the high school education requirement. Raising 
the required hours of instruction required for esthetics licensure 
by 300 hours (800 hours for apprentice instruction), and for 
nail technology licensure by 300 hours (600 hours for apprentice 
instruction) will provide the time necessary to obtain the 
training required for minimum competency. The curriculum 
language clarifies the requirement for schools to provide 
curriculums for each of the training disciplines offered by 
the cosmetology schools, and that schools must provide training 
in the laws and rules of cosmetology.Applicants currently 
provide character references.  The requirement to include 
addresses will make it possible for the board to request 
reference information.  Currently only persons licensed in 
another state may apply for endorsement.  The change would 
allow the application and licensure of those qualified to 
practice in other countries as well.  An increase in the 
examination fee cap will allow a fee increase by rule to provide 
funds for the costs associated with same day scoring of the 
practical exam and increased national test fees.  This legislative 
change will also allow the board the discretion to apply 
discipline other than the suspension or revocation of a license.  
This action is taken at the Deputy AG's suggestion which will 
allow the board to enter into consent agreements with licensees 
to assess fines and recover costs rather than being forced to 
go through the hearing process (which is more costly to both 
the board and the licensee; typically $5 - $50 thousand).  The 
law currently allows temporary practice permits for those who 
have completed training but have not passed the licensure exam.  
These permits were necessary when the exam was offered only 
every three months.  These permits are no longer necessary as the 
exam is now offered monthly, and the written exam is offered daily 
by computer.  The miscellaneous references are for the purposes 
of clarification in the statutes.

                      FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact to the general fund.  An increase in 
the examination fee cap from $75 to $100 to be established by 
board rule in dedicated funds, will provide funds for the costs 
associated with same day scoring of the practical examination 
and increase in national test fees.
