HB 17-1196

House Bill 17-1196, which has been signed into law in Colorado, requires the director of the division that oversees professional licensing to create rules for cosmetologists and barbers. These new rules will need applicants to show proof they have completed a certain amount of training—up to 50 credits or 1,500 hours of hands-on learning. This affects anyone who wants to become a licensed barber or cosmetologist in Colorado by setting standards for their education and training. Since the bill has been signed, these rules will now be developed and implemented to ensure all new license applicants meet the required training criteria.
