Fiscal Notes

No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.


Bill Analysis

HB 467 would require cosmetology license holders to take continuing education in sexual assault and domestic violence awareness.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action opposes HB 467 for violating the principles of individual liberty, limited government and free markets.  While recognizing the good intentions of this bill, it ultimately increases the burden of licensure for cosmetologists by imposing more continuing education requirements totally unrelated to their profession.
