The State Board of Electrologists Examiners
was created within the Department of Health

Acts of 1978). The Board consists of three reg-

who serve for three-year terms. Upon the rec-
ommendation of the Secretary of Health and

members of the Board with the advice and
consent of the Senate.
The Board adopts and revises standards of
electrology practice performed by registered
electrologists; prescribes standards for educational
programs that prepare persons for licensure and
provides surveys of such programs; maintains a
current list of schools or institutions whose
programs meet required standards; and examines,
licenses, and renews the licenses of qualified
applicants. The Board also conducts hearings on
charges calling for discipline of a licensed elec-
trologist by penalty, denial, revocation, or sus-
pension of a license; causes the prosecution of all
persons in violation of the Electrologist Practice
Act (Chapter 851, Acts of 1978); adopts and
revises rules and regulations not inconsistent with
the Act; and sets and revises fees for registration,
license renewal, and examination. The Board
keeps records of all its proceedings, reports annu-
ally to the Governor and to the Secretary of
Health and Mental Hygiene, and evaluates all
areas concerning the practice of electrology in the
State, including unscrupulous principles and
fraudulent acts.
