Resolve, Directing the Department of Health and Human Services To Review
the Requirements for Certification of Micropigmentation Practitioners
Emergency preamble. Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do not
become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and
Whereas, cosmetology training schools and institutes are not offering training in
micropigmentation in the State and this has resulted in few opportunities for licensure under
the current rules; and
Whereas, this resolve is necessary to create opportunities for employment in the area
of micropigmentation; and
Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within
the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as
immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now,
therefore, be it
Sec. 1. Evaluation. Resolved: That the Department of Health and Human Services
shall review and evaluate the training and board certification requirements for engaging in
the practice of micropigmentation. The review and evaluation must address how to increase
access to the field of micropigmentation, including by reducing the number of training
hours required under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 32, section 4313. By November 2,
2022, the department shall submit a report to the joint standing committee of the Legislature
having jurisdiction over health and human services matters regarding the results of the
review and evaluation. The joint standing committee may report out a bill to the First
Regular Session of the 131st Legislature based on the report.
Emergency clause. In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this legislation
takes effect when approved.
