NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
BILL NUMBER: A8051A Revised 10/30/2023
SPONSOR: Zaccaro TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend the general business law, in relation to authorizing and
permitting appearance enhancement licensees to apply dye to eyelash and
eyebrow hair
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
"Sabria's Law" authorizes and permits appearance enhancement licensees
to apply dye to eyelash and eyebrow hair.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. The general business law is amended to add new section 404-d
that shall authorize and permit licensees to apply dye to eyelash or
eyebrow hair pursuant to section four hundred four of this article.
Section 2. Effective date.
JUSTIFICATION:
Appearance enhancement licensees are highly trained professionals
licensed by the Division of Licensing to engage in the practice of
natural hair styling, esthetics, nail speciality, cosmetology or waxing
with additional requirements needed tc operate an appearance enhancement
business.
However, 19 CRR-NY 160.27(e) does not permit appearance enhancement
licensees to apply dye of any kind to eyelash or eyebrow hair, a popular
service resulting in the loss of clientele for appearance enhancement
licensees. One such licensee that has lost clientele is a New York City-
based hair stylist and salon owner named Sabria, unable to provide this
service lawfully.
By authorizing and permitting appearance enhancement licensees to apply
dye to eyelash or eyebrow hair pursuant to the rules and regulations
establishing standards for practice and operations this will ensure
clients are afforded the best service possible by skilled appearance
enhancement licensees like Sabria and many more.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:
