Title 32: PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS
Chapter 63: TATTOO ARTISTS
Subchapter 3: LICENSES
§4311

§4301. License required

No person shall place a tattoo upon the body of another human being without first obtaining a license from the Department of Health and Human Services.   [PL 1975, c. 293, §4 (AMD); PL 2003, c. 689, Pt. B, §6 (REV).]
1.  License renewal.  A license under this chapter may be renewed annually upon payment of the prescribed fee, including late fees, additional inspection fees and fines if assessed and subject to compliance with rules of the department and this chapter. The department shall provide licensees with notice of the need for renewal and necessary forms no less than 30 days prior to the expiration of a license.  
[PL 2021, c. 125, §27 (NEW).]
2.  Conditional license.  When an applicant for initial licensure or license renewal is found, based upon an inspection by the department, not in compliance with this chapter or rules adopted pursuant to section 4251, the department may refuse issuance of the initial or renewal license, but shall issue a conditional license, except when conditions are found that present a serious danger to the health and safety of the public. Failure by the conditional licensee to meet the conditions specified by the department permits the department to void the conditional license. The applicant may reapply for an annual license if the conditional license is voided or expires; however, the department may not reissue another conditional license. All conditions must be met in order for an applicant to reapply for and be issued an annual license.  
[PL 2021, c. 125, §28 (NEW).]
