Amend Title To Conform

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION    1.    Section 40-13-20(1) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"(1)    'Beauty salon' or 'salon' means a building or any place, or part of a place or building including, but not limited to, a rental booth, in which cosmetology is performed on the general public for compensation. This term does not include a rental booth or a part of a salon in which an independent contractor practices under an individual license."

SECTION    2.    Chapter 13, Title 40 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"Section 40-13-255.    A holder of an individual license issued pursuant to this chapter who practices in a booth rental or as an independent contractor may not be charged a license fee or license renewal fee other than the fee charged for individual licensure or licensure renewal. However, an individual's license must be designated as 'booth r

enter'."

SECTION    3.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
