South Dakota will now offer two separate esthetics licenses—a basic esthetics license and an advanced esthetics license—instead of a single license, allowing estheticians to work at different skill levels within the field. The bill updates and reorganizes the state's cosmetology licensing rules across multiple sections to define these new license types, set their requirements, and clarify what services each license holder can provide. Several outdated or redundant provisions in the licensing chapter are removed as part of this comprehensive update.
