The Maryland Board posted a scope guidance document, and the local esthetic world went into a panic. Here is the part that got lost.
That list is a guidance document. It is not a law, and it is not a regulation. Laws are written by the legislature. Regulations go through the Maryland Register with a public comment period. This document did neither.
As a licensed professional, know that you have the right to written notice and a formal hearing if you are ever cited, and know your scope of practice, which right now includes the beautification of the eyelashes or eyebrows.
*This is not legal advice and is for educational purposes only.
If you want to get involved, the Board holds monthly public meetings that are open for public concerns, with dates and a link to join on its website.
