On page 7, beginning on line 16, strike all of sections 401 and 402 and insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 401. The legislature finds that the economic opportunities for cosmetologists, barbers, estheticians, and manicurists have deteriorated in this state as a result of the lack of skilled practitioners, inadequate licensing controls, and inadequate enforcement of health standards. To increase the opportunities for individuals to earn viable incomes in these professions and to protect the general health of the public, the state cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, and manicuring advisory board should be reconstituted and given a new charge to develop appropriate responses to this situation, including legislative proposals.
Sec. 402. RCW 18.16.050 and 1991 c 324 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) There is
created a state cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, and manicuring advisory
board consisting of ((five)) seven members appointed by the ((governor
who shall advise the director concerning the administration of this chapter))
director. ((Four)) These seven members of the board shall
include ((a minimum of two instructors)) a representative of a
private cosmetology school and a representative of a public vocational
technical school involved in cosmetology training, with the balance made up
of currently practicing licensees who have been engaged in the practice of
manicuring, esthetics, barbering, or cosmetology for at least three years. One
member of the board shall be a consumer who is unaffiliated with the
cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, or manicuring industry. The term of office
for all board members ((is three years)) serving as of the
effective date of this section expires June 30, 1995. On June 30, 1995, the
director shall appoint seven new members to the board. These new members shall
serve a term of two years, at the conclusion of which the board shall cease to
exist. Any members serving on the advisory board as of the effective date of
this act are eligible to be reappointed. Any board member may be removed
for just cause. The director may appoint a new member to fill any vacancy on
the ((committee)) board for the remainder of the unexpired term.
((No board member may serve more than two consecutive terms, whether full or
partial.))
(2) The board appointed on June 30, 1995, together with the director or the director's designee, shall conduct a thorough review of educational requirements, licensing requirements, and enforcement and health standards for persons engaged in cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, or manicuring and shall prepare a report to be delivered to the governor, the director, and the chairpersons of the governmental operations committees of the house of representatives and the senate. The report must summarize their findings and make recommendations, including, if appropriate, recommendations for legislation reforming and restructuring the regulation of cosmetology, barbering, esthetics, and manicuring.
(3) Board members shall be entitled to compensation pursuant to RCW 43.03.240 for each day spent conducting official business and to reimbursement for travel expenses as provided by RCW 43.03.050 and 43.03.060."
