The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 88-25 reads as rewritten:
"§ 88-25. Annual renewal of certificates and permits.
Every registered cosmetologist who continues in active practice or service shall renew his or her certificate of registration on or before October 1, 1986, and every three years thereafter. The certificate shall expire on the first day of November in the year in which the renewal is due. Every registered apprentice who continues in active practice or service shall annually, on or before October 1 of each year, renew his or her certificate of registration which has not been renewed prior to, or during, the month of October in any year, and which shall expire on the first day of November in that year. A registered cosmetologist, or a registered apprentice whose certificate of registration has expired may have his or her certificate restored immediately upon payment of the required restoration fee. Any registered cosmetologist who retires from the practice of cosmetic art for not more than three years may renew his or her certificate of registration upon payment of the required restoration fee, and by paying the license fee for the years that such license fees have not been paid.
Every cosmetic art shop, which continues to operate, shall annually, on or before February 1 of each year, renew its permit to operate, and any permit that has not been renewed before or during the month of February in any year shall expire on the first day of March in that year. A cosmetic art shop whose permit has expired may have its permit restored immediately upon payment of restoration fee, as required in G.S. 88-21, in addition to the renewal fee.
The State Board of Cosmetic Art Examiners shall not impose seminar, workshop, or other type of continuing education requirements as a condition of certificate or permit renewal."
