SUBJECT: Barbering and Cosmetology
DIGEST:
This bill requires the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology (BBC)’s Health and Safety Advisory Committee (Advisory Committee) to include three BBC members and adds information on professional cosmetic labeling requirements to the list of health and safety issues the Advisory Committee provides advice and recommendations on.
Existing law:
- Provides for the licensure regulation of the practice of barbering, cosmetology and electrolysis under the Barbering and Cosmetology Act by the BBC. (Business and Professions Code (BPC) § 7300 et. seq.)
- Requires BBC to establish the Advisory Committee to provide advice and recommendations on health and safety issues, including how to ensure licensees are aware of basic labor laws and how to ensure licensees have awareness about physical and sexual abuse their clients may be experiencing. (BPC § 7314.3)
This bill requires three BBC members to be on the Advisory Committee and adds information on professional cosmetic labeling requirements to the list of health and safety issues the Advisory Committee provides advice and recommendations on.
Background
The BBC licenses and regulates over 550,000 licensees. Each profession has its own scope of practice, entry-level requirements, and professional settings, with some overlap in areas. The BBC's licensing population includes: Barbers; Barber Apprentices; Cosmetology Apprentices; Cosmetologists; Electrologists; Estheticians; Manicurists; Establishments; and Mobile Units.
BBC’s Advisory Committee provides the BBC with advice and recommendations on health and safety issues before the board that impact licensees, including how to ensure licensees are aware of basic labor laws. Annually, BBC recruits four committee membership via the BBC Web sites. Committee participants, volunteers who do not receive a per diem or travel expense reimbursement, are appointed for a one-year term (January- December). Committee membership includes two board members, one board member alternate, representation from each board license type, industry association representation, a Department of Public Health representative, a Department of Industrial Relations representative, a representative from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, medical professionals, and a scientist. BBC convenes biannual meetings of the Advisory Committee (once in Northern California and once in Southern California).
The BBC is also required to design the curriculum of a health and safety course that must be covered by schools as part of the hours of required instruction. BPC Section 7389 specifies that the BBC is to develop or adopt a health and safety course on hazardous substances and basic labor laws, which must be taught in schools approved by the BBC. The Advisory Committee worked with health professionals from the Labor Occupational Health Program based at the School of Public Health at the University of California, Berkeley to adopt specifics for a hazardous substances course, and is in the process of adopting basic labor law specifics to be taught in school, working in consultation with the Department of Industrial Relations.
Related/Prior Legislation
AB 326 (Salas, Chapter 312, Statutes of 2017) authorized BBC to promote awareness of physical and sexual abuse and authorized the Advisory Committee to provide advice and recommendations on how to ensure licensees have awareness about physical and sexual abuse their clients may be experiencing.
AB 2025 (Gonzalez, Chapter 409, Statutes of 2016) expanded the role of the Advisory Committee to require recommendations be provided on issues impacting board licensees, including how to ensure licensees are aware of basic labor laws including, but not limited to key differences between the legal rights, benefits, and obligations of an employee and an independent contractor; wage and hour rights for hourly employees; antidiscrimination laws relating to the use of a particular language in the workplace; anti-retaliation laws relating to a worker’s right to file complaints with the Department of Industrial Relations; and, how to obtain more information about state and federal labor law.
FISCAL EFFECT: Appropriation: No Fiscal Com.: Yes Local: No
According to the Senate Appropriations Committee, this bill will result in minor and absorbable costs.

The Governor’s 2019 January Budget projected the fund balance of $22.23 million with total expenditures of approximately $23.5 million.

COMMENTS:
- Purpose. The Author is the Sponsor of this bill. According to the Author, the input of members representing various aspects of the beautification services industry on the Advisory Committee adds value to the Committee’s work. The full BBC has not always had a representative from all licensing categories on the board, as representation of some fields has been inconsistent because there are no guidelines for rotating the professional appointee representation. Through the input of additional BBC members, the Advisory Committee may benefit from input and guidance on industry standards.
- Background. The BBC licenses and regulates over 550,000 licensees. Each profession has its own scope of practice, entry-level requirements, and professional settings, with some overlap in areas. The BBC's licensing population includes: Barbers; Barber Apprentices; Cosmetology Apprentices; Cosmetologists; Electrologists; Estheticians; Manicurists; Establishments; and Mobile Units. ]
