Short-term permits for cosmetology events
The Board issues temporary demonstration location and guest artist permits and must adopt rules by December 31, 2023. Apply on a Board form and pay the fee set in K.S.A. 65-1950. You can qualify with an active out-of-state license that is not revoked, suspended, or conditioned. Guest permits are valid at a state or national convention, a Board-licensed establishment, or another Board-approved event site. Each permit expires within 14 days of issuance. A foreign citizen with no Social Security number and no other-state license may use a valid passport or visa number instead.
Prior cosmetology statute repealed
The law repeals K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 65-1958. That section is removed from the statutes. Any practical effects depend on what the repealed section contained.
