ACTION NARRATIVE
3:25:38 PM
CHAIR SAM KITO called the House Labor and Commerce Standing
Committee meeting to order at 3:25 p.m. Representatives Wool,
Josephson, Birch, Sullivan-Leonard, and Kito were present at the
call to order.
HB 222-LICENSURE OF MANICURISTS/NAIL TECHS
3:26:18 PM
CHAIR KITO announced that the only order of business would be
HOUSE BILL NO. 222, "An Act relating to the licensure of nail
technicians; and providing for an effective date." [Before the
committee was CSHB 222(L&C).]
3:26:48 PM
REPRESENTATIVE MATT CLAMAN, Alaska State Legislature, as prime
sponsor, gave an overview of HB 222. He stated that HB 222
would fix errors in Alaska Statute regarding a grandfather
clause for people who have been successfully working in the nail
industry for several years. Previously, individuals were
"grandfathered" for three years, after which they would have to
retake the 250 hours of instruction required of new applicants.
He expressed that the original intent of the grandfather clause
is that if an individual has experience, he/she shouldn't have
to take the required instruction if he/she has experience.
3:27:27 PM
REPRESENTATIVE SULLIVAN-LEONARD asked whether manicurists,
regardless of previous experience, must pass a test to prove
skills and knowledge.
REPRESENTATIVE CLAMAN answered yes. He added that the bill also
addresses the fact that the department only had the test
translated into four languages, although there are many nail
technicians who don't speak any of those four languages. The
bill includes provisions to ensure that the department would
make accommodations for those who may not speak one of the four
languages. He clarified that all nail technicians would still
have to prove competency as a manicurist in an examination.
3:28:20 PM
CHAIR KITO asked whether, under HB 222, nail technicians would
have a continuing education requirement with health and safety
components.
REPRESENTATIVE CLAMAN offered his understanding that there is
not a continuing education requirement for nail technicians. He
stated that the bill would not add such a requirement.
3:28:53 PM
OWEN PHILLIPS, Staff, Representative Matt Claman, Alaska State
Legislature, on behalf of Representative Claman, prime sponsor
of HB 222, explained that those who are unable to take the test
would be required to take education courses to obtain the skills
necessary to take the exam to renew their license. The bill
does not require educational credits; the exam would "sit in
for" any education component.
3:29:52 PM
REPRESENTATIVE WOOL moved to report HB 222, as amended, out of
committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying
fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSHB 222(L&C) was moved
from the House Labor and Commerce Standing Committee.
3:30:56 PM
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the House
Labor and Commerce Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at
3:31 p.m.
