SUMMARY
CSHB 222(L&C)am
LICENSURE OF MANICURISTS/NAIL TECHS
SCS CSHB 222(FIN) was REPORTED out of committee
with a "do pass" recommendation, Letter of
Intent, and with one new zero fiscal note from
the Department of Commerce, Community and
Economic Development.
CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 222(L&C) am
"An Act relating to the licensure of nail technicians;
relating to the practice of manicuring; and providing
for an effective date."
5:09:29 PM
Vice-Chair Bishop MOVED to ADOPT the committee substitute
for CSHB 222(L&C)am, Work Draft 30-LS0803\R (Bruce,
5/15/17).
Co-Chair MacKinnon OBJECTED for discussion.
5:09:44 PM
LAURA CRAMER, STAFF, SENATOR ANNA MACKINNON, remarked that
there was some concern related to the possibility of
manicurists that would be losing their jobs, should the
legislation not pass in the current session. She remarked
that the renewal period expired August 31, 2017; and noted
that page 2, line 1 extended the grace period for two years
until August 31, 2019. She stated that the extension gave
the legislature time to determine a way to address some of
the concerns. She stated that there was a letter of intent
to accompany the bill.
Vice-Chair Bishop read the Letter of Intent (copy on file):
It is the intent of the Alaska State Legislature in
extending the transition period established by section
13(a), ch. 27, SLA 2015 that the Board of Barbers and
Hairdressers work with the Alaska State Legislature
and licensees to recommend appropriate licensing and
renewal standards for manicurists before the end of
the transition period that:
1. protect the health of Alaskan consumers;
2. do not place an undue burden on existing
licensees who are operating safely;
3. ensure reasonable access to any required
education for existing licensees;
4. respect the diversity of employees in the
field; and
5. do not provide a barrier to entry to new
licensees.
5:12:26 PM
REPRESENTATIVE MATT CLAMAN, SPONSOR, stated that he had not
seen the committee substitute, so he could not comment on
the changes.
5:12:43 PM
AT EASE
5:13:44 PM
RECONVENED
5:13:50 PM
Representative Claman stated that he did not support page 2
of the CS, because there was still a requirement of the
passage of a written test.
Co-Chair MacKinnon WITHDREW her OBJECTION. There being NO
OBJECTION, the proposed committee substitute was adopted.
5:15:26 PM
MICAELA FOWLER, LEGISLATIVE LIAISON, DEPARTMENT OF
COMMERCE, COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, stated that
the committee substitute would zero out the fiscal note.
Co-Chair MacKinnon remarked that the bill had a substantial
impact on those in the industry. The legislation was an
extension of the current grace period, and did not address
the issues that the legislature did not have time to
consider. She stated that the legislation allowed for time
to work with the board to find a solution, instead of
adopting a "quick fix" without the licensees'
participation.
Vice-Chair Bishop MOVED to REPORT SCS CSHB 222(FIN) out of
committee with individual recommendations, Letter of
Intent, and attached fiscal note. There being NO OBJECTION,
it was so ordered.
5:18:09 PM
AT EASE
5:20:38 PM
RECONVENED
5:20:49 PM
Co-Chair MacKinnon announced that it was difficult to be
thoughtful about the process of amending the bill, but the
committee had tried to meet the expectations of the
sponsor.
SCS CSHB 222(FIN) was REPORTED out of committee with a "do
pass" recommendation, Letter of Intent, and one new zero
fiscal note from the Department of Commerce, Community and
Economic Development.
