AFP-KS Applauds Passage of Bill to Eliminate Burdensome Regulations for Cosmetology Small Businesses
TOPEKA, KS—Today, Americans for Prosperity-Kansas (AFP-KS) is applauding the final passage of SB 434 and awaits the Governor’s signature to exempt the practice of hair removal by sugaring from the definition of cosmetology.
AFP-KS State Director, Elizabeth Patton, issued the following statement:
“AFP-KS supports legislative efforts to reform burdensome occupational licensing requirements that often impede job creation. This bill exempts ‘sugaring’ from cosmetology regulations and will remove unnecessary barriers to entry for small business owners without sacrificing quality and safety.
“Eliminating unnecessary red tape for licensed professions will foster an environment where innovation and hard work are rewarded, and individuals have the freedom to pursue their livelihoods without undue government interference. We are encouraged that Kansas legislators voted in favor of this bill which champions economic freedom and opportunity and await the Governor to sign it into law.”
