Title

Consumer, regulate microblading and eyelash extension facilities, penalties

Summary

HB75 would regulate microblading and eyelash extension facilities in Alabama by requiring licensing, safety rules, and penalties enforced by the State Department of Public Health.

What This Bill Does

The bill would require microblading and eyelash extension facilities to obtain a license, be inspected, and pay licensing fees; it would allow the department to set rules on facility design, equipment, dyes, and inspections. It would require technicians to have course certification, forbid services to minors without written parental consent, and prohibit services at unlicensed facilities. It would mandate safety practices like glove use, keep permanent client records, provide a required information sheet, and require notification within 24 hours if a communicable infection is detected; violations could lead to penalties, civil actions, and criminal consequences.

Who It Affects

• Facility owners and operators and technicians: must obtain and renew licenses, pay fees, undergo inspections, follow safety standards, and maintain records.
• Customers and minors (with their parents/guardians): receive services only from certified technicians, must provide or obtain informed consent for minors, receive written information about care, and be protected by infection reporting and safety requirements.

Key Provisions

• Regulates microblading and eyelash extension facilities and allows the State Department of Public Health to promulgate implementing rules.
• Imposes licensing requirements for facilities, including initial license ($250), annual renewal ($200), and temporary licenses ($50), with inspections before licensing and periodically thereafter.
• Requires technicians to have course certification, prohibits performing on minors without written parental consent, and bans work at unlicensed facilities; licenses are nontransferable and must be renewed 30 days before expiration.
• Enforces safety and record-keeping standards: gloves for staff, permanent client records, a department-approved information sheet, and 24-hour notification to health authorities of any infection.
• Authorizes the department and local county health departments to enforce the act, with civil injunctions and possible penalties, including Class C misdemeanors for violations; permits suspension or revocation of licenses.
• Addresses local-funds rule concerns by noting the bill is exempt from Amendment 621 local-funds requirements because it defines a new crime or amends an existing crime.
• Effective date: becomes law on the first day of the third month after passage and governor approval.
