Utah took it on the chin, if you will, in today's New York Times, coming in as the example of over government regulation.
A bill in the last legislature would have saved us from this embarrassment, but it failed. Of all the bills that were introduced, it seems this one should have been a slam dunk. It seems we would have been glad to exempt hair braiding from the cosmetology licensing law. In fact, it seems we would be quick to remove the licensing of cosmetology altogether. Utah is one of the toughest states in the nation to get a cosmetology license in? That's what I understand. It costs $16,000 in tuition to get the education required for a cosmetology license? Why do we allow this? Sometimes, it is not the large freedoms we need to fight for, but the small ones. Holly Richardson is gone from the Utah Legislature, but would that we would rally behind getting new legislation next year, bringing an end to cosmetology licensing altogether.
