The Cosmetology Commission can now officially credit work experience from out-of-state jobs as a substitute for some of the required classroom hours when someone with an out-of-state cosmetology, nail technician, or esthetics license applies for a South Dakota license. The bill requires the Commission to write specific rules defining how much work experience qualifies and how it converts to educational hours.
The amendment changed "may" to "shall" requiring the Cosmetology Commission to promulgate rules, and added "territory" as a jurisdiction type for out-of-state applicants.
The amendment adds an emergency clause to the bill and restructures the out-of-state licensure waiver requirements in § 36-15-19.2, reorganizing conditions into clearer subsections while maintaining the substantive licensing standards.
The amendment changed the bill's purpose from requiring the Cosmetology Commission to credit work experience to clarifying the commission's existing authority to do so, and replaced an emergency declaration with a requirement to promulgate rules.
The amendment clarified that work experience credits for out-of-state applicants substitute for education requirements and must be relevant to the license sought, removing references to specific statute sections.
