Renumber the remaining sections consecutively, correct any internal references accordingly, and correct the title.
EFFECT: Requires that the precautions against the spread of disease adopted by the Secretary of Health cover the sterilization of "sharps," instead of "single-use disposable sharps and reusable sharps." Changes the definition of "body art" from "the practice of physical cosmetic body adornment" to "the practice of invasive cosmetic adornment." Changes the definition of "tattooing" from "the introduction of an indelible mark, figure, or decorative design by inserting nontoxic dyes or pigments into or under the subcutaneous portion of the skin upon the body of a live human being for cosmetic or figurative purposes" to "to pierce or puncture the human skin with a needle or other instrument for the purpose of implanting an indelible mark, or pigment, into the skin." Changes the definition of "tattoo artist" to conform to the new definition of "tattooing." Clarifies that the Director of Licensing's authority to impose additional requirements on body art, body piercing, and tattooing businesses applies only to safety and sanitation. Adds body artists, body piercers, and tattoo artists to the section of the Uniform Regulation of Business and Professions Act (URBPA) that lists the businesses and professions covered by the URBPA.
