New short-term work permits for cosmetology professionals

Kansas replaces its demonstration permit with temporary location and temporary guest artist permits issued by the cosmetology board. Temporary location permits cover professionals authorized under Kansas licensing law. Guest artist permits allow services at state or national conventions, board-licensed establishments, or other board-approved event locations. Applicants without Kansas licenses must hold a license from another state or jurisdiction that has not been revoked, suspended, or restricted. Applicants must use the board-approved application process and pay a fee; this law does not state the amount. Both permits expire no later than 14 days after issuance. Foreign citizens lacking both a Social Security number and another-state license may provide a valid visa or passport identification number instead. The law takes effect upon publication in the statute book and requires implementing rules by December 31, 2023.
