Hearing Discuss/Vote on Body Art Reaulation
Richard Lopez introduces the next hearing topic and asks if anyone from the public has any
comments or suggestions. Stephanie Anne Ward from 1 Charles Street states that she
looked over the regulations and they seem fair to her. One comment Stephanie had was to
change the training portion of having 10 clients you need to have worked on to 25 clients.
Stephanie has worked in this industry and trained for three years. She believes having only
10 clients required for training is on the lower scale and typically towns request 25 clients.

Kerry Dunnell and Richard Lopez welcome her feedback and agree that the number should
be brought from 10 to 25. There was another correction made by the Board and that was
made in section 23.11 -part c. "If a permit is issued in December, that fee shall be waived."
Was the original sentence and we added more to make the sentence clearer, "If a permit is
issued in December, that fee shall be waived until the end of that calendar year. A new
applicant must be applied for January 1 for the next calendar year."
Richard Lopez makes a motion to approve the Body Art Regulation Amendments.
