New Jersey A1377 modifies the languages in which professional license examinations are conducted by the State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling.

New Jersey A1377 requires the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling to offer its practical and written examinations in English and four other most commonly spoken languages in the state. The Division of Consumer Affairs in the Department of Law and Public Safety must consult the American Community Survey or a comparable data set to determine these languages. The division is to verify these languages every five years. Practicing licensees may use a translator if deemed necessary by the board. The bill ensures compliance with New Jersey law.
