  • (Amendment)

    DAR File No.: 42778
    Filed: 04/05/2018 01:38:13 PM

    RULE ANALYSIS

    Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

    Following a review by the Cosmetology and Associated Professions Licensing Board and the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (Division), the proposed rule amendments will more clearly comply with the provisions of Section 58-11a-306.

    Summary of the rule or change:

    In Subsection R156-11a-800(1), this proposed rule change will clarify that a barber instructor may have more than one barber apprentice; however, the instructor may only provide one-on-one direct supervision to one apprentice at a time. In Subsection R156-11a-801(1), this proposed rule change will clarify that a cosmetologist/barber instructor may have more than one cosmetologist/barber apprentice; however, the instructor may only provide one-on-one direct supervision to one apprentice at a time. In Subsection R156-11a-802(1), this proposed rule change will clarify that a basic esthetician instructor may have more than one basic esthetician apprentice; however, the instructor may only provide one-on-one direct supervision to one apprentice at a time. In Subsection R156-11a-803(1), this proposed rule change will clarify that a master esthetician instructor may have more than one master esthetician apprentice; however, the instructor may only provide one-on-one direct supervision to one apprentice at a time. In Subsection R156-11a-804(1), this proposed rule change will clarify that a nail technician instructor may have more than two nail technician apprentices; however, the instructor may only provide one-on-one direct supervision to two apprentices at a time. Subsections R156-11a-800(12), R156-11a-801(12), R156-11a-802(12), R156-11a-803(12), and R156-11a-804(12) are deleted. These proposed rule amendments allow instructors to add additional apprentices prior to current apprentices passing the required exams and becoming licensed or submitting a Notice of Disassociation Form to the Division. Subsections R156-11a-800(13), R156-11a-801(13), R156-11a-802(13), R156-11a-803(13), and R156-11a-804(13) are renumbered to (12).

    Statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

    Anticipated cost or savings to:

    the state budget:

    No state agencies will be directly or indirectly affected by these rule changes because the constrained parties consist only of: 1) individuals appropriately licensed in the cosmetology and associated professions who wish to instruct more than one apprentice at a time, and 2) potential apprentices in these professions who wish to be instructed by such individuals. Additionally, there are no state government entities acting as businesses that will be impacted. As a result, this rule is not expected to impact the state beyond a minimal cost to the Division approximately $75 to print and distribute the rule once these proposed amendments are made effective.

    local governments:

    No local government agencies will be directly or indirectly affected by these rule changes because the constrained parties consist only of: 1) individuals appropriately licensed in the cosmetology and associated professions who wish to instruct more than one apprentice at a time, and 2) potential apprentices in these professions who wish to be instructed by such individuals. Additionally, there are no local government entities acting as businesses that will be impacted.

    small businesses:

    First, there are 853 small businesses in Utah owned by individuals in the barber shops (41), cosmetology/esthetician (beauty salon) (726), and nail salon (86) industries (NAICS 812111, NAICS 812112, and NAICS 812113). Some of these businesses may experience a fiscal benefit from this amended rule because the businesses will have increased opportunities to charge for apprentice instruction services. The full impact to these small businesses cannot be estimated as the necessary data is unavailable because it cannot be estimated how many instructors licensed in these industries own and/or work for these small businesses, nor how many of the instructors will choose to instruct more than one apprentice at a time, nor how many potential applicants for licensure will choose to pursue an apprenticeship pathway or choose to be engaged in an apprenticeship where the instructor has more than one apprentice. Second, there are 48 small businesses in Utah in the barber, cosmetology, esthetician, and nail technician school industries (NAICS 611511). Some of these businesses may experience a fiscal cost associated with decreased student enrollment, due to prospective students choosing to pursue a more accessible apprenticeship path to licensure instead of an educational path to licensure. The full impact to these small businesses cannot be estimated as the necessary data is unavailable as it cannot be estimated how many potential students will actually choose to pursue an apprenticeship pathway.

    persons other than small businesses, businesses, or local governmental entities:

    In Utah there are 25 licensed barber instructors, 1,865 licensed cosmetologist/barber instructors, 558 licensed master estheticians (who can supervise both master esthetician apprentices and basic esthetician apprentices), and 212 nail technician instructors. These individuals may experience a fiscal benefit associated with increased opportunity to charge for apprentice instruction. The full impact to these individuals cannot be estimated as the necessary data is unavailable. It cannot be estimated, firstly, which of the individuals will choose to instruct apprentices, how many will actually choose to instruct more than one apprentice at a time, nor how many will conduct such instruction through their regular employment instead of charging the apprentices in full directly for such services. Additionally, it cannot be estimated how many apprentices will choose to be instructed by individuals instructing multiple apprentices.

    Compliance costs for affected persons:

    These proposed amendments do not impose any compliance cost to any affected persons, as they merely allow additional opportunities for licensees to instruct apprentices.

    Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

    Changes have been made in sections of Rule R156-11a pertaining to barber instructors, cosmetologist/barber instructors, esthetician instructors, master esthetician instructors and nail technician instructors to provide that an instructor may have more than one apprentice, but provides a limitation as to how many apprentices an instructor may have under direct supervision, one-on-one, at any given time. There are 853 small businesses in Utah owned by individuals in the barber shop (41), cosmetology/esthetician (beauty salon) (726), and nail salon (86) industries (NAICS 812111, NAICS 812112, and NAICS 813113). Some of these businesses may experience a fiscal benefit from these amendments because the businesses will have increased opportunities to charge for apprentice instruction services. The full impact to these small businesses cannot be estimated as the necessary data is unavailable because it cannot be estimated how many of the instructors will choose to instruct more than one apprentice at a time, nor how many potential applicants for licensure will choose to pursue an apprenticeship pathway or choose to be engaged in an apprenticeship where the instructor has more than one apprentice. There are 48 small businesses in Utah in the barber, cosmetology, esthetician, and nail technician school industries (NAICS 611511). Some of these businesses may experience a fiscal cost associated with decreased student enrollment, due to prospective students choosing to pursue a more accessible apprenticeship path to licensure instead of an educational path to licensure. The full impact to these small businesses cannot be estimated as the necessary data is unavailable as it cannot be estimated how many potential students will actually choose to pursue an apprenticeship pathway.
