BEFORE THE BOARD OF BARBERS AND COSMETOLOGISTS DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY STATE OF MONTANA
TO: All Concerned Persons
1. On January 13, 2010, at 9:00 a.m., a public hearing will be held in room 439, 301 South Park Avenue, Helena, Montana to consider the proposed amendment of the above-stated rule.
2. The Department of Labor and Industry (department) will make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities who wish to participate in this public hearing or need an alternative accessible format of this notice. If you require an accommodation, contact the Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists (board) no later than 5:00 p.m., on January 8, 2010, to advise us of the nature of the accommodation that you need. Please contact Shane Younger, Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists, 301 South Park Avenue, P.O. Box 200513, Helena, Montana 59620-0513; telephone (406) 841-2335; Montana Relay 1 (800) 253-4091; TDD (406) 444-2978; facsimile (406) 841-2309; e-mail [email protected].
3. The rule proposed to be amended provides as follows, stricken matter interlined, new matter underlined:
24.121.401 FEES (1) Original and renewal license to practice $ (2) (3) (4) Original and renewal school license (5) remains the same. (6) School/course inspection (7) Original and renewal salon or shop license (8) Salon or shop inspection (9) Original and renewal booth rental license (11) through (20) remain the same but are renumbered (10) through (19).
AUTH: 37-1-131, 37-1-134, IMP: 37-1-134, 37-1-141, 37-31-302, 37-31-304, 37-31-305, 37-31-311, 37-31-312, 37-31-323, MCA
REASON: The board determined it is reasonably necessary to make the proposed fee changes to comply with the provisions of 37-1-134, MCA, and keep the board's fees commensurate with program costs. The department, in providing administrative services to the board, has determined that unless the licensure fees are increased as proposed, the board will have a shortage of operating funds. The board estimates the proposed fee changes will affect approximately 7,791 applicants and licensees and result in a $124,320 annual increase in board revenue. The board is amending (2) and (3) to clarify that the fees are the same for instructors' original and renewal licenses. This clarification was inadvertently missed for instructor licenses when the rule was previously amended. The board is deleting (10) to remove the fee for out-of-state licensure by endorsement. The board is deleting the fee because all applicants have the same application requirements and pay the same fee under (1) regardless of the application method. Authority cites are being amended to accurately reflect the statutory sources of the board's rule making authority.
4. Concerned persons may present their data, views, or arguments either orally or in writing at the hearing. Written data, views, or arguments may also be submitted to the Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists, 301 South Park Avenue, P.O. Box 200513, Helena, Montana 59620-0513, by facsimile to (406) 841-2309, or by e-mail to [email protected], and must be received no later than 5:00 p.m., January 21, 2010.

The department strives to make the electronic copy of this Notice conform to the official version of the Notice, as printed in the Montana Administrative Register, but advises all concerned persons that in the event of a discrepancy between the official printed text of the Notice and the electronic version of the Notice, only the official printed text will be considered. In addition, although the department strives to keep its web site accessible at all times, concerned persons should be aware that the web site may be unavailable during some periods, due to system maintenance or technical problems, and that technical difficulties in accessing or posting to the e-mail address do not excuse late submission of comments.
