Proposed Fee Changes Delayed for Legislative Review
OHLA is delaying fee changes scheduled to become effective on December 15, 2009, to allow the agency to report on the proposed changes to the Interim Joint Committee on Ways and Means of the Oregon State Legislature in January 2010. 
 
Proposed fee changes are the result of agency and Board of Cosmetology efforts to balance the cost of entering the cosmetology field in Oregon with the cost of providing licensing and regulatory services for licensees while protecting public health and safety.
 
We anticipate an expedited legislative review and look forward to implementing the fee changes at the earliest possible date.
