In Florida, State Senator Denise Grimsley (R), who is also a registered nurse, introduced a bill that would transfer the regulation of electrology from the Department of Health to the Department of Business and Professional Regulation effective July 1, 2018. SB 744 also stipulates that licensed electologists "who uses a laser or pulsed-light device in a laser hair removal or reduction procedure must be certified by a nationally recognized electrology organization in the use of these devices."
On the regulatory front, final rules to implement Arizona SB 1130 were published in the Arizona Administrative Record on October 27, 2017. No changes were made between the proposed and final rules as the Board of Cosmetology did not receive any comments and no one attended the rulemaking hearing in August.
