Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of 
the State of New Jersey:

���� 1.��� Section 15 of P.L.1984, 
c.205 (C.45:5B-15) is amended to read as follows:

���� 15.� In addition to any 
practice declared unlawful pursuant to P.L.1978, c.73 (C.45:1-14 et seq.), it 
shall be unlawful for a licensed teacher to engage in the following practices:�

���� c.���� Knowingly permit

expected to be transmitted during the course of rendering cosmetology and 
hairstyling, beauty culture, barbering, manicuring, hair braiding or skin care 
specialty services; 

���� d.��� Demonstrate cosmetology 
and hairstyling, beauty culture, barbering, manicuring, hair braiding or skin 
care specialty services on students while knowingly having an infectious,

during the course of rendering cosmetology and hairstyling, beauty culture, 
barbering, manicuring, hair braiding or skin care specialty services; 

���� e.���� Engage in fraudulent

���� 2.��� (New section)� An 
individual licensed by the board in a profession other than cosmetology and 
hairstyling shall be permitted to teach, in a licensed private school of 
cosmetology and hairstyling, courses in the profession in which the individual 
is licensed if the individual:

���� a.���� meets the requirements, 
other than holding a license in cosmetology and hairstyling, established 
pursuant to section 23 of P.L.1984, c.205 (C.45:5B-23); and

���� b.��� provides evidence to the

held by the individual is equal to or greater than the training required for 
the service under the cosmetologist-hairstylist license.

���� 3.��� This act shall take 
effect on the 90th day next following the date of enactment.

STATEMENT

���� This bill allows certain 
licensees of the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling to teach 
in a private school of cosmetology and hairstyling.� Current law limits a 
license to teach cosmetology and hairstyling to individuals who hold a cosmetologist-hairstylist 
license.� This bill expands that law to allow individuals holding a license to 
practice barbering, beauty culture, manicuring or as a hair braiding or skin 
care specialist to teach in a private school of cosmetology and hairstyling, 
provided the individuals meet certain other requirements.

���� The bill also makes it an 
unlawful practice for a teacher to teach a course in a service not within the 
scope of practice of the professional license held by the teacher.
