In 2021, the Health Licensing Office (HLO) convened a Joint Esthetic and Advanced Esthetic Rules Advisory Committee (Joint RAC) to collaborate and recommend rule changes to the Board of Cosmetology (COS Board) and the Board of Certified Advanced Estheticians (CAE Board), including defining the term “device" within both the advanced esthetics and esthetics professions as required in HB 2970 (2021).
The Board of Direct Entry Midwifery, under the Health Licensing Office, has filed proposed rules with the Oregon Secretary of State.
The proposed rules will be published in the March 2023, Oregon Bulletin.
You are invited to review the proposed rules and submit comments from March 1, 2023, through 12 p.m. (noon) on March 28, 2023. To submit your comments by email, send them to Samie Patnode at: samie.patnode@oha.oregon.gov.
The Board of Cosmetology and Board of Certified Advanced Estheticians reconvened an Esthetics and Advanced Esthetics Joint Rules Advisory Committee (Joint RAC) which met on January 30, 2023, to continue discussion regarding the requirements of HB 2970 (2021) related to collaboratively defining the term “device" within both the esthetics and advanced esthetics professions.
Currently, the Joint RAC has meetings scheduled for February 27, 2023, and March 27, 2023. The Health Licensing Office (HLO) will be canceling the February 27, 2023, meeting due to other time sensitive obligations and to allow adequate time to develop and research information on devices. The HLO still intends to hold its March 27, 2023, meeting from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Further decisions will be made on scheduling additional RAC meetings following the March 27, 2023, meeting.
