Discussion of the 143rd Legislative SectionSB 229 and Aesthetician LicensesLuke Lewan’s Letter to the BoardDraft of Rules and RegulationsRevised Letter to Board of Professional EngineersUpdate concerning meeting with the Professional Board of EngineersDraft of Rules and Regulations/Statute

Mr. Lewan wrote a letter to the board asking if a license was required under the board’s statute for the application of make-up. Ms. Abby Adams, Deputy Attorney General, for the board indicated that the board could not advise Mr. Lewan but only clarify the statute for him. Mr. Lewan explained that he would be applying makeup for a fee and Ms. Adams stated that the application of makeup under this context would require a license. Mr. Stanley stated that other states such as Maryland have a makeup license. Ms. Adams stated that the board could regulate this if they so choose but this would require the statute and regulations to be rewritten and presently makeup licensure is not part of the cosmetology statute. Brenda Porter stated that the Board should look to regulate this issue since there were safety concerns with regard to sanitation and infectious disease.

Ms. Adams suggested that the board review this at the next scheduled meeting of the revision of the rules and regulations meeting. The Board of Professional Land Surveyors reviewed the final draft of the proposed legislation to amend §2706(12) (f) and §2717 from Title 24 of the Delaware Code. Section §2706(12)(f) will delete the fee schedule and allow for the Division of Professional Regulation to set the required fees. Mr. Early questioned what a certificate of registration meant in this section. Peggy Foreit stated that the terminology referred to the actual license not the wall certificate. Section §2717 will change the jurisdiction over penalties from Superior Court to the Justice of the Peace Court.

A motion was made by Mr. Early and seconded by Mr. Kemp to approve the legislation for submission to James Collins, Director of the Division of Professional Regulation. The motion was unanimously carried.

Mr. Schranck will draft a letter for Mr. Murray’s signature in order to present the legislative changes to Mr. Collins.

DAG Legal Update for Complaint# 05-04-06

Mr. Kemp stated that a revision was made to 24 Del. C. §2712 (10) in 2006 which the board was under the impression would allow for the board to take disciplinary action against individuals who practiced land surveying on an expired license. According to Complaint# 05-04-06, the licensee referenced practiced land surveying on an expired license.

Mr. Schranck stated that the above referenced complaint did show a land surveyor practicing without a license however the licensee renewed his license during the late renewal period. The rules and regulations under section 16.0 will need revision in order to allow a period of less than two years for late renewal. Currently the late licensure renewal is for a two year period.

Mr. Schranck informed the board that a land surveyor who renews during the late renewal is not subject to a penalty for practicing on an expired license. Once a licensee renews their license, all land surveys performed by that licensee are valid. In order to discipline licensees for practicing without a license in the future, the renewal period of two years would need to be changed to another designated time (30 days or 60 days).
