A00057 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A57
 
SPONSOR: Rosenthal L (MS)
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the general business law, in relation to requiring domestic violence and sexual assault awareness education for persons engaged in the practice of nail specialty, waxing, natural hair styling, esthetics and cosmetology   PURPOSE: This bill requires all appearance enhancement professionals to complete a one-hour training course in domestic violence and sexual assault education as part of their license renewal process.   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section one amends subdivision 1 of section 406 of the general business law by adding a new paragraph. Section two amends subdivision 6 of section 408 of the general business law, as amended by section 1 of part Y of chapter 60 of the laws of 2011. Section three amends the general business law by adding a new section 408-b. Section four sets forth the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: In the United States, nearly 20 individuals experience physical domestic abuse per minute. Domestic abusers and those who commit sexual assault heavily monitor the whereabouts and daily interactions of their partners as a way to control their victim. However, most domestic abuse and sexu- al assault victims are not monitored during trips to beauty salons. Those in the beauty industry, such as hair stylists, nail specialists, and other cosmetologists, build close relationships with their clients through routine visits. These relationships may result in the disclosure of personal information from clients, as their stylist serves as a neutral party. This bill would require appearance enhancement professionals to complete a one-hour training course in domestic violence and sexual assault, as part of their license renewal process. This course would provide instruction on how to help victims in dangerous situations and provide them with the appropriate resources to seek help. This training would not require reports of incidents to law enforcement, but rather provide education and increased awareness to appearance enhancement profes- sionals. As the epidemic of domestic violence and sexual assault persists, it is imperative that New York find creative ways to effectively address the issue. To date, a similar bill has become law in Illinois. This bill will empower victims to seek help and escape the cycle of abuse without fear of detrimental repercussions.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2017-18: A.6576-B - Advanced to Third Reading; S.9028-A - Referred to Rules   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Undetermined.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it shall have become a law.
