Summary

The bill requires any body‑art shop that performs or teaches scarification to use a dedicated room, verify a client’s age, and give written after‑care instructions. It creates a Class B misdemeanor for performing scarification on a minor for money, unless the provider can show a valid ID proving the client is 18 or older. The Office of Professional Licensure Review must evaluate scarification practices and report by late 2026.
