3. GENERAL REASON: The board currently licenses salons and shops and sets minimum operating and safety standards for those facilities. Historically these facilities have all been in fixed locations. With recent changes in the industry across the United States, mobile salons and shops as regulated by licensing bodies are becoming more common. The full board has discussed the appropriate regulation of mobile salons and shops in Montana for the last several years. Licensees, the public, and board members have all expressed a need to allow more flexibility for licensees to safely practice outside fixed locations. Board members and staff have also researched other states' mobile salon/shop licensing requirements to ensure adequate public protection while allowing licensees flexibility in providing services under their individual scopes of practice. Review of the board's statutory authority during this time confirmed that the board has the authority to set requirements for mobile salons and shops in administrative rule. Therefore, the board determined it is reasonably necessary to amend and repeal several rules and adopt new rules to establish clear operational and safety requirements for mobile salons and shops. The board is also amending rules to achieve consistency, simplicity, better organization, and ease of use for licensees, educators, program administrators, and the public. Authority and implementation citations are being updated throughout to accurately reflect the statutes implemented through the rules and provide the complete and current sources of the board's rulemaking authority. Where additional specific bases for a proposed action exist, the board will identify those reasons immediately following that rule.
4. The rules proposed to be amended are as follows, stricken matter interlined, new matter underlined:
24.121.301 DEFINITIONS (1) through (8) remain the same. (9) "Change in ownership" means when more than 50 percent of the equitable ownership of a salon, shop, mobile salon or shop, or school is transferred to one or more persons or any other legal entity, in a single transaction or in a related series of transactions. (9) through (18) remain the same but are renumbered (10) through (19). (20) through (29) remain the same but are renumbered (21) through (30). (31) "Mobile salon or shop" means a salon or shop as defined in 37-31-101, MCA, that is readily movable and where barbering, barbering nonchemical, cosmetology, electrology, esthetics, or manicuring are practiced other than at a fixed location. (a) Needles may not be recapped, bent, or otherwise manipulated by hand prior to disposal, to avoid accidental puncture injury. (b) Needles must be placed in a puncture-resistant sharps container immediately after use, when damaged, when contaminated before use, or when not used before the preprinted expiration date. (31) through (37) remain the same but are renumbered (33) through (39).
AUTH: IMP:
REASON: For years staff have received questions on what exactly constitutes a change of ownership of a salon, shop, or school since the specifics are not set forth in current statute or rule. Noting that statute does require a facility having a change in ownership to obtain a new license, the board determined it is reasonably necessary to define this term. The definition in (9) is consistent with that used by other Montana licensing boards that have similar statutory requirements for facility licensure and change of ownership. Defining the term will address staff and licensee confusion and noncompliance with board licensing laws while increasing overall efficiencies.
24.121.403 GENERAL APPLICATION AND LICENSE DISPLAY REQUIREMENTS (a) post a (b) (3) Mobile salons or shops shall also conspicuously post the mobile salon or shop license on the exterior of the mobile salon or shop. (8) through (10) remain the same but are renumbered (4) through (6).
AUTH: IMP: 37-31-301, 37-31-302, 37-31-303,
REASON: The board determined it is reasonably necessary to amend this rule for simplicity, better organization, clarity, and ease of use for the reader. The board is eliminating the general application provisions in (1) and (2) because the department administers a standardized application process applicable to all licensing boards. The board is striking (4) as the requirement for updating licensee contact information is already set forth in ARM 24.121.612. The board is eliminating (6) as unnecessary since licensees now print their own licenses using an online system. The board is deleting (7) as the specific minimum requirements for salons and shops are set forth in other rules and this general statement is not necessary.
24.121.405 (a) and (b) remain the same.
AUTH: 37-1-131, 37-31-203, 37-31-204, MCA
REASON: The board is also amending this rule to address consistent questions regarding variance requests to board staff by setting forth the requirements more clearly.
24.121.407 (2) No services connected with a salon, shop, mobile salon or shop, or school can be conducted in any room used as living or sleeping quarters. (3) No other business, service, or practice may be conducted or provided in a salon, shop, mobile salon or shop, or school unless separated by a full-length partition, except those: (a) regulated by the board; or (b) related to the industries regulated by the board (a) through (b)(ii) remain the same. (iii) posts a legible sign at or near the entrance of the salon, (c) remains the same. (d) All other animals are prohibited on the premises of salons,
AUTH: IMP: 37-31-204, 37-31-311, MCA
REASON: The board is relocating the provisions from (4) and (5) to ARM 24.121.1501 as a more appropriate location. It is reasonably necessary to strike (7) as unnecessary as the board does not regulate food or drink specifically as it does not pertain to the practice. Specific safety and sanitation standards are addressed in other board statutes and rules.
24.121.1301 (2) Applicants for licensure of an existing salon, shop, or mobile salon or shop with a change in ownership as defined in ARM 24.121.301 must submit a new application as described in ARM 24.121.403, [NEW RULE II], and this rule. (3) A temporary operating permit may be granted to an applicant for a salon, shop, or mobile salon or shop prior to initial inspection as described in [NEW RULE I] if all other licensing requirements have been met.
AUTH: IMP:
REASON: The board is amending this rule to relocate language pertaining to operating standards from (1) through (5) to NEW RULE III as a more appropriate location. For the same reasons, the board is moving provisions on wet sanitizer and linen/garbage containers to ARM 24.121.1507, provisions on unprofessional conduct to ARM 24.121.2301, and inspection provisions to NEW RULE II. Further amendments will eliminate outdated, redundant, and unnecessary provisions.
24.121.1501 PREMISES, FIXTURES, AND GENERAL SANITATION – SALONS, SHOPS, MOBILE SALONS OR SHOPS, AND SCHOOLS (1) The following applies to salons, shops, mobile salons or shops, and schools: (b) all areas within the facility must be adequately lighted and light fixtures must be kept clean; (c) there must be direct entry from a public access area; and (d) furniture must be kept in clean and safe conditions at all times. (2) Carpeting is prohibited in the working areas, dispensaries, and restrooms of all salons, shops, mobile salons or shops, and schools licensed on or after November 19, 2004. (a) Salons, shops, and schools licensed prior to this date must use appropriate, nonabsorbent floor covering to cover the existing carpet. (b) Upon alteration or remodeling of the salon, shop, or school, carpeted flooring must be removed and replaced with appropriate, nonabsorbent floor covering.
AUTH: IMP: 37-31-204, MCA
REASON: The board is relocating provisions on entrances, fixtures, and general sanitation from ARM 24.121.407 to this rule as a more appropriate location.
24.121.1505 RESTROOMS (1) At least one restroom with a hand washing basin must be located: (a) on or near the premises of (b) within the confines of the mobile salon or shop. (a) remains the same but is renumbered (2). (3) Restrooms must contain: (b) a soap dispenser containing liquid soap; (c) single service towels or an air dryer; and (d) a covered waste container. (3) remains the same but is renumbered (4).
AUTH: IMP: 37-31-204, MCA
24.121.1507 SINKS, SANITIZERS, CONTAINERS, AND CABINETS – SALONS, SHOPS, MOBILE SALONS OR SHOPS, AND SCHOOLS (a) (A) The sink in a salon, shop, or school must be connected to a sewer or septic system. (B) The sink in a mobile salon or shop must be connected to a wastewater holding tank and/or meet any state or local laws pertaining to wastewater. (c) remains the same but is renumbered (iii). (b) one covered wet sanitizer of suitable size and depth, and appropriate sanitizing and disinfecting agents as defined in ARM 24.121.1513 and 24.121.1514 (uncovered sanitizing agents may be used, provided the sanitizing agent is changed after each use); (c) one covered soiled linen container; (d) one covered garbage container; and (e) one enclosed dust free cabinet for the storage of cleaned towels.
AUTH: IMP: 37-31-204, MCA
REASON: The board is moving provisions on wet sanitizer and linen/garbage containers from ARM 24.121.1301 to (1)(b) through (e) as a more appropriate location.
24.121.1509 IMPLEMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, SUPPLIES, AND EQUIPMENT – SALONS, SHOPS, MOBILE SALONS OR SHOPS, AND SCHOOLS (1) (2) All machines, devices, implements, shelves, tables, sinks, and other equipment used in connection with the operation of a salon, shop, mobile salon or shop, or school must be: (a) remains the same. (b) maintained in sanitary and safe conditions at all times. (3) Salons, shops, mobile salons or shops, and schools must maintain copies of the manufacturers'/owners' manuals on-site for all equipment in service. (4) (a) and (b) remain the same. (5) For the practice of esthetics: (a) (i) remains the same. (ii) (iii) used only in accordance with specific manufacturer directions (b) (c) (d)
AUTH: IMP:
REASON: It is reasonably necessary to relocate unprofessional conduct provisions in (6) through (9) to ARM 24.121.2301 as a more appropriate location.
24.121.1511 SANITIZING AND DISINFECTING IMPLEMENTS AND EQUIPMENT – SALONS, SHOPS, MOBILE SALONS OR SHOPS, AND SCHOOLS (1) All implements, equipment, and electrical instruments must be thoroughly cleaned and subjected to (2) through (4) remain the same. (5) Electrical equipment, whether professional or consumer designed, which provides circulating, whirlpool, or vacuum effects shall be: (a) cleaned and disinfected after each use (b) (i) licensee name; (ii) client name; (iii) date; (iv) cleaning service start and end times; (v) whether the item was cleaned; and (vi) whether the item was disinfected. (6) In addition to the (a) through (b)(i) remain the same. (ii) sterilizing packets with dry heat lab oven, 340°F for 60 minutes (c) remains the same. (d) (e) outside biological monitors shall be used to ensure proper mechanical function of sterilizers on no less than a quarterly basis. (7) through (12) remain the same.
AUTH: IMP:
REASON: The board determined it is reasonably necessary to set forth the electrical equipment recordkeeping requirements in rule as opposed to a department-generated form for consistency, clarity, and ease of use for licensees. This rule already describes the recordkeeping requirements with regard to electrology in (6). The board concluded that these amendments will provide greater clarity for department staff, licensees, and the public and increase staff efficiencies by not requiring the department to create and maintain a specific form.
24.121.1517 (a) and (b) remain the same. (2) Safety Data Sheets (SDS) relative to product ingredients, proper use, storage, disposal, and hazards for products in use at salons, shops, mobile salons or shops, and schools (a) through (c) remain the same. (d) methyl methacrylate monomers for artificial nails; (e) through (e)(iii) remain the same. (iv) Jessner's solution (5) through (8) remain the same but are renumbered (3) through (6).
AUTH: IMP: 37-31-204,
REASON: The board is striking the provisions of (9) to align with standardized department inspection and investigation procedures and protocols as they apply to all DLI licensing boards and programs.
24.121.1522 BLOOD SPILLS (1) remains the same. (2) The blood spill procedure described in this rule must be posted in all salons, shops, mobile salons or shops, and schools.
AUTH: IMP: 37-31-204, MCA
REASON: The board is removing obsolete language from (2).
24.121.2101 CONTINUING EDUCATION – INSTRUCTORS (1) (2) Licensees shall affirm an understanding of their recurring duty to comply with CE requirements as a part of license renewal. (3) CE requirements will not apply until after the licensee's first renewal. (4) Licensees are responsible for selecting quality programs that focus on protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public and contribute to licensees' professional knowledge and competence. Acceptable CE activities: (a) directly relate to the licensee's scope of practice as defined in board statute or rule; (b) review existing concepts and techniques; (c) convey information beyond the basic professional education; (d) update knowledge on the practice and advances in the profession; or (e) reinforce professional conduct or ethical obligations of the licensee. (5) CE hours will not be granted to a licensee teaching a course. (6) Board meetings are approved as CE. (a) A licensee must attend at least half of a meeting to obtain credit. (b) A board meeting is worth two hours of CE credit. (7) The department may randomly audit up to 50 percent of renewed licensees. (8) Licensees must maintain documentation of completed CE for three years and provide documentation to the board upon request. Documentation must include the following information: (a) licensee name; (b) course title and description of content; (c) presenter or sponsor; (d) course date(s); and (e) number of CE hours earned. (9) Licensees found to be in noncompliance with CE requirements may be subject to administrative suspension. Licensees may not apply CE hours used to complete delinquent CE requirements for the next education reporting period. (10) Any CE hours required by disciplinary order do not apply toward the 30 hours that are required per renewal period under this rule.
AUTH: 37-1-131, 37-1-319, IMP: 37-1-141, 37-1-306, 37-1-319, 37-1-321, MCA
REASON: The board is amending this rule to align with and facilitate the department's standardized application, renewal, and audit procedures, and streamline the rule for better organization and ease of use for the reader. As a part of the standardization, the board is placing the responsibility on instructor licensees to select quality CE programs that contribute to their professional knowledge and competence. Following amendment, the board will no longer approve sponsors or courses as the licensees must choose CE that meets the education objectives described in this rule. Following a recommendation by department legal staff, the board is adding (2) and striking (4) to align the affirmation of CE requirements at renewal with the provisions of 37-1-306, MCA. The amendments fall within standardized department procedures that licensees with mandatory CE affirm an understanding of their CE requirements, as part of a complete renewal application, instead of affirming CE completion. It is reasonably necessary to specify in (6)(b) that board meeting attendance is worth two CE hours regardless of the meeting's length. Since the length of a board meeting and the amount of time someone attends both vary, the board has determined it is necessary to set a minimum amount of attendance and standard number of CE hours to provide consistency for both licensees and department audit staff. Based on average meeting length, there are generally two hours of business relating directly to the ongoing regulatory education. The board is adding (7) to allow flexibility in conducting random CE audits. This amendment will allow the department to respond to staffing and budget issues by adjusting the number of licensees audited, while remaining consistent with the statutory maximum of 50 percent in 37-1-306, MCA. The board is clarifying in (9) that licensees not in compliance with CE may be subject to administrative suspension per 37-1-321, MCA, and in accordance with standardized department audit processes.
24.121.2301 UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT (1) through (1)(n) remain the same. (o) maintaining an unsanitary or unsafe salon, shop, mobile salon or shop, booth, or school, or practicing under unsanitary or unsafe conditions; (p) performing services or using machines and devices outside of the licensee's area of training, expertise, competence, or scope of practice or licensure, unless such services are not licensed or inspected by the state of Montana (i) use of implements, equipment and instruments for performing dermaplaning and dermabrasion procedures including but not limited to blades, knives, scalpels, wires, and diamond friezes. This does not include single-use lancets used during noninvasive procedures; (ii) "surgery," as defined in ARM 24.156.501 as surgery constitutes the practice of medicine and is prohibited for all individuals licensed under this chapter; (iii) the use of roller or roll-on waxing systems; and (iv) use of any teeth whitening products; (q) remains the same. (r) failure of a salon, shop, mobile salon or shop to ensure that all personnel comply with the board's statutes and rules, including safety and sanitation rules, except when safety violations are committed at a booth by the booth renter; (r) remains the same but is renumbered (s). (t) through (aa) remain the same but are renumbered (u) through (ab). (2) remains the same.
AUTH: 37-1-131, 37-1-136, 37-1-319, 37-31-203, MCA IMP: 37-1-136, 37-1-137,
REASON: The board is amending this rule to relocate unprofessional conduct provisions previously in ARM 24.121.1301 and 24.121.1509 as a more appropriate location.
5. The proposed new rules are as follows:
NEW RULE I INSPECTIONS – SALONS, SHOPS, AND MOBILE SALONS OR SHOPS (1) A board-designated inspector will conduct annual on-site inspections of all licensed salons, shops, booths, and mobile salons or shops. (a) Inspections may be conducted with or without advance notice to the licensee. (b) Results of the inspection will be provided to the licensee. (c) If there are any items of noncompliance, the licensee must submit a written response which addresses those items of noncompliance. The response must be received by the board within ten days of the licensee receiving notification of noncompliance. (d) A report of significant noncompliance will be reviewed by the board screening panel per the department's standard compliance process. (2) The following inspection process applies to applicants for licensure as a salon, shop, and mobile salon or shop. (a) Applicants who meet all license requirements with the exception of having passed an initial inspection may be issued a temporary operating permit per 37-31-312, MCA. (b) Applicants must pass an initial inspection of the facility by a board-designated inspector prior to a license being issued. (c) Results of the inspection will be provided to the applicant or licensee. (d) If there are any items of noncompliance, the applicant or licensee must submit a written response which addresses those items of noncompliance. The response must be received by the department within 30 days of receiving notification of noncompliance. (e) If issues of noncompliance are not corrected within 30 days of the date of notice of noncompliance the temporary operating permit shall terminate and a license shall not be granted without board review. (i) When a temporary permit terminates, the salon, shop, or mobile salon or shop must cease operation unless a license is issued by the board. (ii) A subsequent temporary operating permit is not available unless the application times out pursuant to ARM 24.121.403 and a new application is filed.
AUTH: 37-31-203, 37-31-204, MCA IMP: 37-31-101, 37-31-203, 37-31-204, 37-31-302, 37-31-309, 37-31-312, MCA
REASON: The board is adopting NEW RULE I to consolidate all inspection provisions and standard procedures relating to salons, shops, and mobile salons or shops in one location for consistency, simplicity, better organization, and ease of use for licensees, educators, program administrators, and the public. Inspection provisions pertaining to these license types are being relocated from ARM 24.121.1301 to this rule along with language clarifying initial versus annual inspections.
NEW RULE II NAME CHANGE, CLOSURE, OR CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP (1) Using forms provided by the department, salons, shops, mobile salons or shops, and schools must notify the board within ten days of any of the following occurring: (a) change of business name; (b) closure; and (c) change of ownership as defined in these rules. (2) When there is a change in ownership the license issued to the previous owner is void. The new owner must apply for a license per the applicable requirements in this chapter.
AUTH: 37-31-203, MCA IMP: 37-31-203, MCA
REASON: The board is adopting NEW RULE II to standardize the process for board notification of business name change, closure, or sale. The board concluded these changes will ensure the board receives adequate data and increase department efficiencies.
NEW RULE III SALON, SHOP, BOOTH RENTAL, AND MOBILE SALON OR SHOP OPERATION STANDARDS (1) A salon, shop, or mobile salon or shop: (a) cannot operate unless a license or temporary permit has been issued to the owner; (b) must meet the sanitary and operation standards described in ARM Title 24, chapter 121, subchapter 15; and (c) must contain a restroom per the requirements in ARM 24.121.1501 and 24.121.1505. (2) In addition to the requirements in (1): (a) a salon or shop must be located in a structure that meets all applicable local and state building codes requirements unless it is a mobile salon or shop as defined in ARM 24.121.301; (b) a salon or shop located in a residence must have outside entrances with doors separate from the entrances to the residence; and (c) a salon or shop where electrology is practiced must: (i) be located in a structure that meets all applicable local and state building codes requirements unless it is a mobile salon or shop as defined in ARM 24.121.301; (ii) have a high frequency generator, galvanic generator, or electrolysis machine (dispersive or inactive electrode with connections to the machine, such as wet pad, metal rod, or water jar, necessary for electrology treatments); (iii) have needles as defined in ARM 24.121.301. Only presterilized, disposable needles as defined in ARM 24.121.301 may be used for electrolysis services on any individual in a licensed salon, shop, or mobile salon or shop unless a properly installed, serviced, and operated autoclave is utilized for sterilization of reusable needles. (iv) have covered containers for all lotions, soaps, and cotton to be used on clients; (v) have fine-pointed epilation forceps; and (vi) have draping sheets or towels. (3) In addition to the requirements in (1) and (2), a mobile salon or shop must: (a) meet all applicable local and state laws for mobile businesses, including but not limited to operating permits; (b) provide and maintain a physical address and mailing address for the owner(s) of the mobile salon or shop. The applicant or licensee must notify the board of any change of address of the responsible person(s) within ten days of the change of address.

AUTH: 37-31-203, 37-31-204, MCA IMP: 37-31-204, 37-31-302, 37-31-309, 37-31-312, MCA
REASON: The board is adopting this rule to consolidate operating requirements for salons, shops, and mobile salons or shops for better consistency, simplicity, better organization, and ease of use for licensees, educators, program administrators, and the public. Current operating provisions in ARM 24.121.407 and 24.121.1301 are being relocated to this rule so that all operating standards are in one location. In addition to existing requirements for fixed-location salons and shops, the board is establishing specific operating standards for mobile salons and shops. For example, mobile shop/salon licensees must maintain physical and mailing addresses so department staff, including inspectors, can contact and locate them. The board also determined it is reasonably necessary to require mobile salons and shops to comply with applicable state and local laws for mobile businesses in addition to board regulations. These requirements are consistent with the standards and general regulatory model for mobile salons and shops in other jurisdictions to ensure protection of public health and safety.
6. The rule proposed to be repealed is as follows:
24.121.1503 LIGHTING
AUTH: 37-1-131, 37-31-203, MCA IMP: 37-31-204, MCA
REASON: It is reasonably necessary to repeal this unnecessary rule as adequate salon and shop lighting is now required in ARM 24.121.1501.
