Delaware: Some felony convictions no longer barrier to cosmetology and barber licenses

Governor John Carney of Delaware has approved House Bill 97, which removes roadblocks for those individuals with a criminal history who are applying for an aesthetician's license. The bill allows the Delaware Board of Cosmetology and Barbering to grant waivers for certain felony convictions if up to three years have elapsed since their sentence. The previous waiting period was five years.
