On March 7, 2018, the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development adopted regulation changes in Title 12, Chapter 02 of the Alaska Administrative Code.  The regulations concern occupational licensing fees for manicurists, advanced manicurists, and hairdressers. Hairdressing is added to a provision allowing for courtesy licenses, and “nail technician” is removed in favor of “manicurist” or “advanced manicurist” to account for changes to AS 08.13 by ch. 2, SLA 2017.

The regulation changes were reviewed and approved by the Department of Law, signed and filed by the Lieutenant Governor on May 22, 2018, and will go into effect on June 21, 2018.  See attached copy of the filed version of the regulations.

The new regulation changes will be printed in Register 226, July 2018 of the Alaska Administrative Code.
