Section 20-265g. - Schools for instruction for estheticians, nail technicians or eyelash technicians.

(a) Schools for instruction in services provided by estheticians, nail technicians or eyelash technicians may be established in this state. All such schools may be inspected regarding their sanitary conditions by the department whenever the department deems it necessary and any authorized representative of the department may enter and inspect the school during usual business hours. If any school, upon inspection, is found to be in an unsanitary condition, the commissioner or a designee shall make a written order that such school be placed in a sanitary condition.

(b) Any school for instruction in the occupations of estheticians, nail technicians or eyelash technicians, other than a hairdressing and cosmetology school approved under section 20-262 shall obtain approval pursuant to this section prior to commencing operation. Any such school established prior to January 1, 2020, shall apply for such approval not later than July 1, 2020. In the event that an approved school undergoes a change of ownership or location, such approval shall become void and the school shall apply for a new approval pursuant to this section. Applications for such approval shall be on forms prescribed by the commissioner. In the event that a school fails to comply with the provisions of this subsection, no credit toward the hours of study required pursuant to section 20-265b, 20-265c, 20-265d or 20-265f shall be granted to any student for instruction received prior to the effective date of the school's approval.
