State Updates                                    

Cosmetology Hour Reduction Bill Passed in Texas

The last week of May finds only 22 legislatures actively meeting.  In the closing hours of Texas’ 2019 legislative session on Sunday, both the House and the Senate adopted a conference report to HB 2847 that reduced the course of instruction for cosmetology from 1,500 to 1,000 hours.  Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) has indicated support for the underlying occupational licensure reform bill on social media and is expected to sign HB 2847 into law.  The Act, which will become effective September 1, 2019, will also permit cosmetology students to take the licensure examination at 900 hours and allow schools to administer the practical examination.

The full text of the HB 2847 conference report can be found at the link below.
