AB 1153, as introduced, Eggman. Esthetician: advanced skin care course.
Existing law requires an applicant for an esthetician license to meet certain educational requirements and authorizes the State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology to approve schools that are licensed by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education, or a public school in this state, and that provide a course of instruction approved by the board. A skin care course established by a school consists of not less than 600 hours of practical training and technical instruction in accordance with a curriculum established by board regulation.
This bill would allow a school to establish an advanced skin care course of not less than 600 hours of practical training and technical instruction in accordance with a curriculum established by board regulation. The advanced skin care course would not be a requirement of obtaining an esthetician license.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.
