AN ACT TO AMEND THE CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 40-13-255 SO AS TO PROVIDE A MONETARY PENALTY FOR PERSONS LICENSED BY THE STATE BOARD OF COSMETOLOGY FOR VIOLATIONS OF STATE LAW PERTAINING TO COSMETOLOGISTS, RELATED REGULATIONS, OR AN ORDER OF THE BOARD IN LIEU OF LICENSE SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION; TO AMEND SECTION 40-13-30, RELATING TO THE BOARD, SO AS TO INCREASE THE MEMBERSHIP; AND TO REAUTHORIZE THE EXISTENCE OF THE BOARD FOR SIX YEARS.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Monetary penalty for cosmetologists in lieu of license suspension or revocation
SECTION 1. The 1976 Code is amended by adding:
"Section 40-13-255. The holder of a license issued by the board found to be in violation of this chapter, related regulations, or an order of the board is subject to a civil penalty in lieu of suspension or revocation of the license. The penalty may not exceed five hundred dollars."
State Board of Cosmetology membership increased
SECTION 2. Section 40-13-30 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 40-13-30. The State Board of Cosmetology is created composed of seven members appointed by the Governor for terms of four years and until their successors are appointed and qualify. Vacancies are filled in the manner of original appointment for the unexpired terms. Recommendations for appointment may be made by the board and other interested groups or persons. The recommendations must be submitted to the Governor not later than the thirty-first day of December of the year preceding the year in which appointments are made. Four members of the board must be experienced cosmetologists and must have been in the practice of cosmetology in this State for at least five years before appointment. Two members must not be connected with the practice of cosmetology. One member must be either an esthetician or a manicurist.
No appointed member of the board may serve more than two consecutive terms on the board. Members of the present board are eligible for reappointment for one more term, if they have not served two consecutive terms.
It is unlawful for a member of the board appointed or reappointed after July 1, 1981, or an inspector or employee of the board, or spouse, to own an interest in a cosmetology school or substantial interest in a company which deals in wholesale sales or services to beauty salons.
The member of the board who is not connected with the practice of cosmetology has all rights and privileges of other members of the board except he may not participate in the examination of an applicant for a license."

Time effective
