South Dakota HB1194 clarifies the Cosmetology Commission's authority to credit work experience for educational hours for out-of-state licensure.

South Dakota HB1194 amends the state's cosmetology licensing laws to clarify the authority of the Cosmetology Commission to credit work experience for educational hours for certain out-of-state licensure applicants. The bill specifies that the commission may credit two hours of work experience as one hour of school education, but only for work experience that occurred after the applicant was initially licensed. This credit cannot exceed half of the total education hours required for the license.
