Notice of Change in Effective Date

Title of Regulation: 18VAC41-20. Barbering and Cosmetology Regulations (amending 18VAC41-20-200, 18VAC41-20-210, 18VAC41-20-220).

Statutory Authority: § 54.1-201 of the Code of Virginia.

The Board for Barbers and Cosmetology gives notice that the September 1, 2024, effective date of the Barbering and Cosmetology Regulations (18VAC41-20), which was published in 40:21 VA.R. 1788-1794 June 3, 2024, is changed to January 1, 2025.

This change in effective date is due to a change in a federal regulation that affects schools, including cosmetology schools, which are the subject of this regulation. Changing the effective date of this regulation will permit cosmetology schools to come into compliance with the new requirements of the board without putting the schools at risk of noncompliance with new federal regulation.

Effective Date: January 1, 2025.
