WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 3

In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the defined term
"cosmetology school" is substituted for the former
limited reference to a "school of beauty culture",
since there seemed to be no intent to exclude
postgraduate schools of cosmetology.

The Business Occupations Article Review Committee
notes, for consideration by the General Assembly, that
it may wish to consider specifying which infectious
and contagious diseases are intended to be covered by
this section.

Defined terms: "Beauty salon" § 5-101
"Cosmetology school" § 5-101
"Practice cosmetology" § 5-101

5-610. STUDENT PRACTICE; ADVERTISEMENT OF PRICES.

(A)  PRACTICE.

(1)  EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH (2) OF THIS
SUBSECTION, A SCHOOL OF COSMETOLOGY MAY NOT ALLOW A STUDENT TO
PRACTICE COSMETOLOGY ON THE PUBLIC.

(2)  A SCHOOL OF COSMETOLOGY MAY ALLOW A STUDENT TO
PRACTICE COSMETOLOGY IN ACCORDANCE WITH § 5-302 OR § 5-303 OF
THIS TITLE.

(B)  ADVERTISEMENT OF PRICES FOR STUDENT SERVICES.

(1)  EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH (2) OF THIS
SUBSECTION, A SCHOOL OF COSMETOLOGY MAY NOT ADVERTISE PRICES FOR
SERVICES OF STUDENTS.

(2)  A SCHOOL OF COSMETOLOGY MAY POST IN THE SCHOOL
BUILDING A LIST OF PRICES FOR SERVICES OF STUDENTS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a)(1) and (b) of this section
are new language derived without substantive change
from former Art. 56, § 486(b) and, as it related to it
being unlawful to allow students to practice beauty
culture on the public, (a).

Subsection (a)(2) of this section is new language
added as a reference to the exceptions.

The Business Occupations Article Review Committee
notes, for consideration by the General Assembly, that
the prohibition against advertising prices for student
services may be unconstitutional as a violation of the
First Amendment right of commercial speech. See,
e.g., Virginia State Board of Pharmacy v. Virginia
Citizen's Consumer Council, 425 U.S. 748, 96 S.Ct.
