	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1044, as introduced, Nguyen. Barbering and cosmetology.
   Existing law, the Barbering and Cosmetology Act, provides for the

manicurists, electrologists, and apprentices by the State Board of
Barbering and Cosmetology. Existing law requires an individual
licensed to practice in one of these vocations to report to the board
at the time of license renewal his or her practice status and
relationship with his or her place of operation. Existing law
requires an individual licensed to operate an establishment to report
to the board at the time of license renewal whether any booth
renters or independent contractors operate in the establishment.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to this provision.
