"Representative David Wolkins has withdrawn House Bill 1006. Congratulations
...So I was pleased to see such an outpour of public testimony and
cooperation. After the committee meeting was held, I met with several
members of ROEC and state legislators to discuss possible amendments
or changes. One of those amendments included not eliminating the
State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners, but make slight
changes to how the licensing is done.
Saying that, even though I agree with the overall goal of the
legislation-that being less government involvement-I understand that
this is not the year to do it, and this is not the legislation to do
it with. I decided to withdraw the bill because we can do better."

"Indiana Rep. Dave Wolkins killed a bill Wednesday that would have
eliminated licenses for cosmetologists and a handful of other professions.
Wolkins, R-Winona Lake, said the stylists, aestheticians and others
who came to testify on the bill last week were so persuasive that
their industry should be licensed and regulated that he would not
even ask for a vote on the legislation."
Nothing has been posted at any offical Indiana site as of noon, Jan.
26, 2012 verifying this information.
Here is the website that contains the full ROEC (Regulated
Occupations Evaluation Committee) report detailing the Indiana's
decision to bring this bill for
vote:

TO READ REPORT
Read the report carefully. It is full of double negatives. One section states:
Maintain Current Status
There are two license types that the Board would leave unchanged,
assuming that the General Assembly is determined to maintain
licensure. Those two licenses are manicurist and esthetician.
Several people have already misinterpreted this to mean these 2
licenses will not be effected if the bill passes or fails. That is
incorrect. The statement means -- IF the bill FAILS and licensing is
retained, these 2 licenses will have no changes. All other licenses
will have some sort of change, but not manicurist or esthetician. If
the bill PASSES manicurist and esthetician licenses, along will all
beauty related licenses - operators, schools, etc, will be eliminated
Of course with any proposed legislation, licensees may also contact
their Legislator at

. If you are an Indiana licensee, we urge you to contact your
politicians who will be voting on this matter immediately!
--------------------------------------------
New Hampshire has introduced three bills that will directly impact
the professional beauty industry. Please review the following three bills:
HB1265 establishes criteria for the regulation of occupations and
professions by boards and commissions as authorized by law, and
provides that an individual may engage in a legal occupation (such as
cosmetology) without being subject to laws that regulate the
occupation or profession which are arbitrary, unnecessary, or
substantially burdensome.
BILL SPONSORS: Representatives Spec Bowers, Joshua Davenport, Seth
Cohn, and George Lambert.
HB1431 repeals the requirements of high school education and hours of
training or apprenticeship required for obtaining a barber license,
leaving as requirements only good professional character, passage of
an examination, and paying the license fee.
BILL SPONSORS: Representatives Spec Bowers, Tammy Simmons, Peter
Hansen, Jason Antosz, Michael Reed, Donald LeBrun, and Kyle Tasker.
HB1538 prohibits the board of barbering, cosmetology, and esthetics
from adopting a rule prohibiting certain innovative cosmetic or
esthetic treatments.
BILL SPONSORS: Representatives Andrew Manuse, Steve Vaillancourt,
Lenette Peterson, Spec Bowers.
All three bills are currently in the House Executive Departments and
Administration
Committee.
Licensed professionals, business owners, distributors, and
manufacturers maintain a high standard of professionalism and
legitimacy through education, best practices, health and safety, and
complying with regulations that protect the industry as well as the
consumer. These bills do not support our industry or our professional goals.

Please do not think because you do not live in Indiana or New
Hampshire, these issues do not effect you. This is the furthest we
have ever seen steps to eliminate beauty licenses in the US go. If
one state does this, others will follow.
Make your voice heard NOW!
