Mississippi HB844 exempts experienced cosmetologists, barbers, estheticians, and nail technicians from taking a renewal exam if their license has.

Mississippi HB844 amends the Mississippi Code to allow cosmetologists, barbers, estheticians, nail technicians, and instructors with at least ten years of experience to renew their licenses without taking an exam if their license has been expired for no more than five years. Instead, they must pay the required renewal fee, any adjudicated fines, and a delinquent fee for each year their license has been expired. This change aims to streamline the renewal process for experienced professionals while ensuring they meet certain financial obligations.
