                                     Brief Summary of Bill
           • Allows cosmetology licensees whose licenses expired, or was canceled,
             on or after March 1, 2020, to renew their license before June 30, 2023.


SENATE COMMITTEE ON BUSINESS, FINANCIAL SERVICES & TRADE

     Staff: Kellee Gunn (786-7429)

     Background: Certain business and professional licenses are regulated by the Department
     of Licensing (DOL). Cosmetology, which includes barbers, hair designers, manicurists,
     estheticians, master estheticians, and cosmetology instructors, is regulated by DOL.

     A cosmetology license is valid for two years. If a licensee fails to renew a license before it
     expires, they are subject to a late fee. If not renewed within a year of its expiration, the
     license is canceled. If canceled, a person must meet relicensing requirements including
     passing any applicable written or practical examinations and training requirements.




     This analysis was prepared by non-partisan legislative staff for the use of legislative
     members in their deliberations. This analysis is not part of the legislation nor does it
     constitute a statement of legislative intent.

     Summary of Bill: A cosmetology licensee whose license expired, or was canceled, on or
     after March 1, 2020, may renew their license before June 30, 2023.

     Appropriation: None.

     Fiscal Note: Available.

     Creates Committee/Commission/Task Force that includes Legislative members: No.

     Effective Date: Ninety days after adjournment of session in which bill is passed.

     Staff Summary of Public Testimony: PRO: I have been a cosmetologist since 2003. The
     personal services industry prides itself on its public safety measures it has put in place
     during the pandemic. However, many cosmetologists didn't feel safe returning to work
     during the pandemic and so let their license lapse. ESHB 1930 creates temporary allowance
     for allowing these professionals to reinstate their license. This is just a start with the issues
     around DOL and professional licensing. There is bipartisan support with this bill.

     Persons Testifying: PRO: Representative Cyndy Jacobsen, Prime Sponsor; D'Arcy
     Harrison, Cosmetologists of Washington United.

     Persons Signed In To Testify But Not Testifying: No one.
