 Introduced by M. of A. JACKSON -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Economic Development

 AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring
 appearance enhancement business and cosmetology licensees and trainees
 to disclose the price of cosmetology services

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The general business law is amended by adding a new section
 2 404-d to read as follows:
 3 § 404-d. Pricing disclosures. 1. For the purposes of this section, the
 4 term "disclosure" shall include, but not be limited to, written or
 5 verbal information describing the services to be performed and rules
 6 surrounding the provision of such services for the customer and a verbal
 7 description of the services to be performed before any such services can
 8 be performed at or about the time of the appointment.
 9 2. Every appearance enhancement business, licensee and trainee shall:
 10 (a) disclose, at the time of booking an appointment for cosmetology
 11 services, prior to the start of such services, upon a change in the
 12 services to be provided, and prior to payment being accepted, the price
 13 of such services to be provided at such appointment, factors which may
 14 cause the price to be higher than such price, and the range of possible
 15 additional charges where such factors pertain.
 16 (b) post wherever such services can be booked, at each counter or desk
 17 at which orders can be placed, and where payment for such services is
 18 accepted, a list conspicuously displaying the current price of the basic
 19 services provided by the appearance enhancement business, licensee and
 20 trainee, factors which may cause the price to be higher than the basic
 21 price, and the range of the possible additional charges when such vari-
 22 ables pertain.
 23 3. In addition to any other penalties pursuant to the provisions of
 24 this article, violation of this section shall be punishable by a civil
 25 penalty of five hundred dollars for each violation.
 26 § 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall
 27 have become a law.

 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
