HB 1685 -- SHAMPOO ASSISTANTS

SPONSOR:  Smith

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee
on Professional Registration and Licensing by a vote of 14 to 0.

This bill defines "shampoo assistant" and states that a
cosmetology license is not required to work as a shampoo
assistant.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that this bill is needed because a
shampoo assistant must go to school for about a year and most
people are unwilling to do the training to be a shampoo
assistant.  This bill would allow shampoo assistants to obtain
on-the-job training and would also help small shops obtain help.

Testifying for the bill were Representative Smith; and Charlotte
Hagemeir.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
