Effective January 1, 2005, the Board will no longer have the authority to issue new or renewal licenses for barber instructors or cosmetology instructors. Legislation in 2003 (SB 362, Chapter 783) repealed the Board's authority to issue barber and cosmetology instructors' licenses and the authority to administer other related requirements for these licenses. The Board is currently developing recommendations to the Legislature on qualifications for instructors. These recommendations will be the foundation for future legislation.

BBC's responsibilities are protecting and educating consumers who seek barbering, cosmetology, and electrology services. BBC also regulates the individuals who provide the services and the salons in which the services are performed
