Notice of Proposed Rule

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

Board of Medicine

Chapter:

LICENSURE OF ELECTROLOGISTS AND ELECTROLOGY FACILITIES

Overview

RULE:

64B8-51.006

Rule Governing Licensure and Inspection of Electrology Facilities

PURPOSE:

The Council proposes the rule amendment to clarify the requirements for electrolysis facility licensure, inspection, and operation; allows for the operation of separate modalities, and requires only the equipment necessary for the modality practiced at the facility.

SUMMARY:

The rule amendment clarifies the owner of an electrology facility must obtain a facility license while neither physicians nor their employees are required to obtain an electrology facility license; identifies facility requirements separately for each modality; not a change in position but rather a clarification that all electrologists practicing laser or light-based hair removal and reduction are required to have passed the CME certification test by SCMHR.  Form DH5008-MQA-09/2015 is created to apply for inspection for adding or switching to a new electrology modality.  Forms DH5018-MQA-07/2016, for transfer of electrolysis facility location, and DH-MQA 1213, for electrolysis facility licensure, are modified to update the facilities checklists.
