ENROLLED
AN ACT
ENTITLED An Act to modify requirements relating to the operation of salons and
booths and to declare an emergency.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
Section 1. That a NEW SECTION be added to chapter 36-15:
A person who operates a licensed salon may allow more than one licensed
cosmetologist, licensed esthetician, or licensed nail technician to share a work station or
other space within the salon, provided that:
(1) Each individual maintains the minimum equipment and sanitary requirements set
forth by the commission;
(2) The individuals sharing the work station or space do not provide services at the
work station or in the shared space at the same time; and
(3) If the individuals share a work station or other space within a booth, each individual
possesses a booth license for the respective services that the individual will
provide.
Nothing in this section prohibits individuals sharing a work station or other space
within a salon from sharing equipment, provided that the equipment meets the minimum
standards set forth by the commission.
If individuals are sharing a work station or other space within a salon in accordance
with this section, the commission may not require additional working space other than
that required for a single licensee.
If the commission finds, upon inspection, a violation of any provision of this chapter
or rules promulgated thereunder, and the commission cannot determine which individual
sharing the work station or other space committed the violation, the person operating the
licensed salon is responsible for the violation. 25.887.13 2 1232
