HOUSE BILL No. 1006 Link: http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2011/HB/HB1006.2.html

We may have won a small battle January 20th, 2012; however, we have not yet won the war...100s of people showed up at the Public Hearing for HB 1006 to oppose this bill.

Friday, January 20, 2012 by 9:30 am we as a group occupied the entire basement of the State House (i.e., standing room only in every room, corridor, and hallway). The Committee for Employment, Labor and Pensions were not prepared for the turn-out of Cosmetologist & Barbers. We can do it again!

Highlights...

The Committee for Employment, Labor and Pensions had an Advisory Committee R.O.E.C. “Regulation Occupation Evaluation Committee” was create by the House of Representatives General Assembly (i.e., to research all the State Boards and Commissions in as far back as 2010) and the report is due by July 1st each year. After R.O.E.C. concluded their research and presented their findings before the House of Representatives December 2011 Session deadline. R.O.E.C. recommended that (4) Boards and Commissions be deregulated. After the deadline on January 6th, 2012 the Committee for Employment, Labor and Pensions decided to attach the deregulation of these (4) Boards and Commissions to the already existing “RIGHT-TO WORK BILL.

R.O.E.C. tried to justify their findings of why we don’t need to be regulated by the State Government. I realized that they had not really done their homework. Not enough research on Cosmetology & Barber.
(See Questions) and (Our Answers)

1. Just because you’re not licensed…does that mean that your profession is not important?
Answer: It is important to us to be more than certified. We worked hard to get our license and it would make it impossible to relocate into a state that requires a license to transfer and work.
2. Just because you’re not licensed…Does it mean that the consumer will lose the quality of services?
Answer: In our profession we perform many corrective services, because for some reason a non-professional has screwed up the procedures and the result were not favorable to the consumer.
3. Just because you’re not licensed…Are the fees worth the license?
Answer: Yes! We are willing to pay a higher licensing fee if the result is better state regulation of our profession (i.e., State cost to do business by the IPLA is $$216,376.00 annually. State revenue is $1,441,000.00). You do the math!
(1)Where is the offset of $1,224,624.00? (2)What is being done with it?
4. Just because you’re not licensed…What would consumers lose?
Answer: The consumer is at risk of losing their sight (malpractice injury), their money (no liability), their hair (chemical treatment), their life (paralyzed or death from massages) etc…
5. Just because you’re not licensed…Would you lose customers?
Answer: Yes, if we cannot compete with the prices of “Kitchen Curls”, “Back Room Relaxers” and Over-the-Counter Colors.
6. Just because you’re not licensed…Is the occupation worthy?
Answer: We perform services that require customer satisfaction that allows them to be unique as they present their selves to the world.
