Board

Board of Hairdressers and Cosmetologists
Board
201 KAR 12:020. Examination. Regina Webb, chair, Wilma May, administrator, and Dena Moore, executive secretary, represented the board. Mary Randolph, Hair Design School, appeared in favor of this administrative regulation. Patricia Stephenson, salon owner; Rebecca Taylor and Beverly McCauley, cosmetology school owners; and Johnnie Hood, Kentucky Congress of Cosmetology, appeared in opposition to this administrative regulation.
In response to questions by Representative Lee, Ms. Taylor stated that this administrative regulation required applicants to use mannequins rather than live models for their examination. However, a better policy would be to permit applicants to use mannequins or live models because her students preferred to use live models. At her school, students worked on live models for 1,500 of their 1,800 required hours. Ms. McCauley added that students should also be examined on live models for public protection. Mannequin use did not adequately test the applicant's mastery of health and safety practices which were very important in this field.
In response to questions by Co-Chair Pullin, Ms. McCauley stated that some applicants wanted to use mannequins because it could be difficult to find live models for the haircut portion of the examination. She suggested that mannequins be allowed for the haircut, but live models be required for the remainder of the examination. Ms. Taylor added that testing with live models was particularly important for the nail procedures because of their greater health and safety risks.
In response to questions by Representative Reinhardt, Ms. Taylor stated that schools did not have to graduate students with insufficient safety practices.
In response to questions by Senator Tapp, Co-Chair Roeding stated that eighty-five percent of states required mannequins to be used for the examination. Ms. Moore added that only two states allowed mannequins or live models to be used. Additionally, switching to mannequin use only would benefit the applicants and the board because the board could examine more applicants in less space for less money. Permitting the use of both would nullify all of those advantages.
A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: (1) to amend Section 12 to specify the circumstances when the Board would waive the examination fee for a rescheduled examination; (2) to create a new Section 13 to incorporate by reference the required application forms; and (3) to amend the STATUTORY AUTHORITY paragraph and Sections 1, 3, 4, 5, and 11 to comply with the drafting and format requirements of KRS Chapter 13A. Without objection, and with agreement of the agency, the amendments were approved.
Board of Nursing

Without objection, and with agreement of the agency, the amendments were approved.
Respiratory Care Board
Board
201 KAR 29:010. Activities under limited mandatory certification. Klaus Becker, vice chair, Tami McDaniel, board member, and Wade Root, board member, represented the board.
201 KAR 29:015. Fees. In response to questions by Representative Lee, Ms. McDaniel stated that the fee increases in this administrative regulation had been publicized in advance. The Kentucky Society of Respiratory Care, the professional association for respiratory care, had included the proposed and finalized fee increases in its newsletters.
In response to questions by Representative Reinhardt, Ms. McDaniel stated that nonmembers also had access to the society's newsletters because the society provided them to hospitals and other places of employment.
In response to questions by Representative Bruce, Ms. McDaniel stated that the newsletters had noted that the board was proposing the fee increases.
A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: (1) to amend the NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY paragraph to clearly state the necessity for and function served by this administrative regulation; and (2) to amend Section 3 to delete mandatory fines for persons practicing after their licenses have expired and to correct a minor formatting error.

Board of Interpreters for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
Board
201 KAR 39:050. Renewal of licenses and extension of temporary licenses. Teresa Flaherty, chair, Russell Anderson, board member, and Scott Porter, assistant attorney general, represented the board.
In response to questions by Co-Chair Roeding, Ms. Flaherty stated that this amended administrative regulation limited the number of extensions allowed for temporary licenses. The board hoped the limits would encourage more temporary licensees to complete the requirements for full licensure so that active interpreters would be better qualified and more professional. Mr. Porter stated that the amendments closed the current loophole which allowed unlimited renewals of temporary licenses.
A motion was made and seconded to approve the following amendments: (1) to amend the STATUTORY AUTHORITY paragraph to correct statutory citations; and (2) to amend Sections 3 to 6 to correct formatting. Without objection, and with agreement of the agency, the amendments were approved.
