*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015
Bill
Summary: AB 181 would extend the operation of the California
State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology until January 1, 2020.
The bill would also require the Board to perform additional,
specified duties.
Fiscal
Impact:
No significant costs are anticipated due to the extension of
the California State Board of Barbering and Cosmetology
(Barbering and Cosmetology Contingent Fund). Under current
law, the Board itself has a statutory sunset (including the
Board's authority to employ an executive officer). However,
the larger body of current law requiring licensure for barbers
and cosmetologists and authorizing the enforcement of those
AB 181 (Bonilla) Page 1 of
?
laws does not have a statutory sunset. If this bill was not
enacted and the Board itself sunset, the overall regulatory
program would still existing within the Department of Consumer
Affairs (less the costs associated with the Board itself).
Therefore, extending the sunset of the Board does not impose
any significant costs.
One-time additional costs of about $510,000 for additional
requirements imposed in the bill (Barbering and Cosmetology
Contingent Fund). The Board would review the existing 1,600
hour training requirement for cosmetologists, conduct an
occupational analysis of the cosmetology profession, conduct a
review of the existing national written examination and
California practical examination for cosmetologists, and
conduct a review of the Spanish-language examination and
curriculum.
Ongoing costs of about $70,000 per year for issuing new
personal service permits (Barbering and Cosmetology Contingent
Fund).
Unknown costs for enforcing licensing requirements relating to
the new personal service permit (Barbering and Cosmetology
Contingent Fund).
Anticipated ongoing fee revenues of about $5 million per year
for new personal service permits (Barbering and Cosmetology
Contingent Fund). The Board anticipates that about 15% of
licensees will seek the new permit.

Amendments: Make technical and clarifying corrections.
