Pennsylvania SB1329 amends the Cosmetology Law to update the requirements for the renewal of professional and teaching licenses. The bill mandates that renewal requires ten hours of continuing education per biannual renewal period. Of these, eight hours must focus on professional skills and techniques, one hour on health and sanitation, and one hour on legal, regulatory, or ethics matters. The continuing education must match the scope of practice of the license held, and the provider must be approved by the board. The changes will take effect 60 days after the act's passage.
