     SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE

                    STATEMENT TO

                  SENATE, No. 3227
                   with committee amendments



 STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                   DATED: DECEMBER 12, 2024

    The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably and with
committee amendments Senate Bill No. 3227.
    As amended, this bill updates current law to establish licensure
requirements for limited cosmetic retail service licenses to be issued
to cosmetic retail service establishments. The license will apply to
the retail premises and allow a licensed skin care specialist to perform
certain skin care services, defined in the bill as cosmetic retail
services, at a qualifying establishment. Specifically, a qualifying
retail establishment that obtains a license for its premises under the
bill, would be permitted to offer the following skin care services in
exchange for compensation at the establishment:
    (1) applying cosmetic preparations, antiseptics, tonics, lotions,
creams or makeup to the hair, scalp, face or neck;
    (2) massaging, cleansing or stimulating the face, neck or upper
part of the body, with or without cosmetic preparations, either by hand,
mechanical or electrical appliances;
    (3) removing superfluous hair from the face, neck, arms, legs or
abdomen by the use of depilatories, waxing or tweezers.
   At present, a cosmetics retailer is prohibited from offering any
paid services unless it separates from the floor space of a retail
facility at least 350 square feet of space for two customer chairs and
an additional 50 square feet of space for each additional chair.
These are the same requirements for full service salons. Under the
bill, a cosmetic retail service establishment will be allowed to
consider the entire square footage of the store for the purpose of
licensure and will be allowed one chair for every 750 square feet of
retail space. The issuance of a limited cosmetic retail service license
to a cosmetic retail service establishment will not change the pre-
existing use and occupancy classification of the establishment under
the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.
    The beauty and cosmetics industry employs a large number of
New Jersey residents and is critical to the success of retail facilities
within the State, such as shopping malls and retail centers. This bill
will create new jobs for persons already licensed as skincare
specialists, allow those graduating from an approved cosmetology
                                   2

school to have more options for employment, and grow the retail-
based economy of New Jersey.
   As amended and reported by the committee, Senate Bill No. 3227 is
identical to Assembly Bill No. 4331 (1R).

COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
    The committee amended the bill to add language establishing that
the issuance of a limited cosmetic retail service license will not change
a pre-existing use and occupancy classification of an establishment
under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.
