Summary

HB 1181 repeals the Barber and Cosmetologist Act (Article 105) on September 1, 2026 (with a final sunset on September 1, 2033) and removes the advisory committee that assisted the director. It updates the definitions of barbering, cosmetology, esthetician and hairstyling, adds new exemptions (e.g., mortuary work, cosmetic tattooing, theatrical hair services), and tightens exam and discipline requirements. The measure becomes law after a 90‑day period post‑adjournment unless a referendum blocks it.
