                                BILL NUMBER:S6177

TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the general business law and the civil
practice law and rules, in relation to licensing of appearance enhance-
ment businesses

PURPOSE:

To increase constraints on unlicensed appearance enhancement businesses
(day spas) within this state and on day spas which violate the terms of
their licenses.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Amends Article 27 of the General Business Law as follows:

1. Amends Section 400 Law by adding a new subdivision 11, to incorporate
the federal definition of "related person" (from section 465 of the
internal revenue code). A "related person" generally means family
members, a taxpayer and a corporation controlled directly or indirectly
(through attribution from other family member stock holdings) by the
taxpayer (more than 50% of the value of the stock), and a partner and a
controlled (directly or indirectly) partnership, and other related
parties, including a trust and its grantor, a trust and its beneficiary,
and a personal services company and any shareholder-employee, as well as
relationships between partners.

2. Amends section 410, Administration, to add prostitution offenses as
grounds for suspension or revocation of a license and imposition of a
fine on nail specialist, natural hair stylist, esthetician, cosmetolo-
gist or appearance enhancement business; also eliminates the ability to
issue a reprimand when there has been a criminal act after issuance of a
license (fraud, grand larceny, perjury, robbery, manslaughter, kidnap-
ping and unlawful imprisonment, prostitution offenses (new), unlawful
weapons possession, criminal use of a weapon, criminal sale of a weapon,
and sex offenses).

3. Further amends Section 410 to prohibit a person, or any related
person, whose license has been revoked from obtaining a license within
the same county within five years, in addition to the current one year
revocation.

4. Adds a new section 412a to the article, "Additional Provisions With
Respect To an Appearance Enhancement Business" with the following
provisions:

*Allows any license or renewal to be revoked, cancelled, suspended,
and/or subjected to the imposition of a civil penalty for cause and
requires that the license be revoked upon conviction of any felony
offense listed in paragraph f.of subdivision one of section 410 of this
chapter.

*Defines "for cause" as the existence of a sustained and continuing
pattern of noise, disturbance, misconduct, or disorder on or about the
licensed premises, related to the operation of the premises or the
conduct of its patrons, which adversely affects the health, welfare, or
safety of the inhabitants of the area in which such licensed premises
are located. Adds that this will be presumed upon the fourth incident
reported within a 180 day period to a law enforcement agency of noise or
disturbance or misconduct or disorder on or about the licensed premises
or related to the operation of the premises or the conduct of its
patrons.

*Allows unlicensed entities up to one month after notification to apply
for a license and up to one year to obtain it. If application for a
license is not made within three months of notification, the person,
company, and related person are ineligible to apply for five years.

*Two or more convictions for prostitution offenses within one year will
be presumptive evidence of conduct constituting use of the premises for
purposes of prostitution, and the business location shall be subject to
Title 2 of Article 23 of the public health law, which allows closure,
forfeiture of property, and other actions.

*Prohibits operation between midnight and 5 a m., except where an
appearance enhancement business is located in a health care facility, a
hotel, motel, or bed and breakfast, a timeshare, an airport, a pari-mu-
tuel facility, or is run during a special event approved by the county
or municipality in which the establishment operates, provided however
that any procedure performed can only be by an individual licensed to
perform such procedure under this article.  Makes it a misdemeanor to
violate this curfew once, with a six months imprisonment or a fine of
$500 or both, and makes a second or subsequent violation within a five
year period a class E felony.

*Requires posting of the toll-free number, address and other pertinent
information as determined and required by the secretary of the National
Human Trafficking Resource Center in an area easily observable to
patrons, employees, and visitors, by any enhancement business which does
not provide full service.

*Adds the corporation counsel in NYC to the State Attorney General and
the Secretary of State as an entity which may obtain an order enjoining
or restraining commission or continuance of the unlawful acts complained
of. The remedy provided in this section shall be in addition to any
other remedy provided by law or to the proceedings commenced against a
licensee under this title.

*Adds human trafficking as defined in section 230.34 of the penal law
and/or labor trafficking as defined in section 135.35 of the penal law
as an specified offense under Article 13-A of the CPLR, the Proceeds of
a Crime-Forfeiture statute. This allows a civil action to be taken by
the appropriate claiming authority against a criminal defendant to
recover property which constitutes the proceeds of a crime, the substi-

tuted proceeds of a crime, an instrumentality of a crime, and the real
property instrumentality of a crime, and/or to recover a money judgment
in an amount equivalent in value.

EXISTING LAW:

New bill.

JUSTIFICATION:

While there are many good and appropriate businesses providing nail
specialist, natural hair stylist, esthetician, and cosmetologists
services, or appearance enhancement businesses, there are too many unli-
censed fronts which are actually engaged in other activities. This
legislation will severely restrict such operations.  To summarize its
provisions, it:

*Includes prostitution as reasons for a license to be suspended or
revoked, or a fine imposed.

*Eliminates the ability to issue a reprimand in place of a fine or a
revocation when there has been a criminal offense.

*Prohibits a person or related person whose appearance enhancement busi-
ness license has been revoked from obtaining a license within the same
county for five years, in addition to the current one year revocation.

*Provides a three-month grace period for applying for a license and one
year for obtaining a license for a person who has operated without a
license, but then prohibits a person or a related person under IRC code
who fails to comply from obtaining a license for five years. A "related
person" generally includes family members and business relationships.

*Makes the place of business of a nail specialist, natural hair stylist,
esthetician, cosmetologist or appearance enhancement business a "dwell-
ing" for purposes of presumption of conduct constituting use of the
premises for prostitution, which can result in such remedies as injunc-
tions, abatement, sale and removal of property, and other remedies.

*Allows the NYC corporation counsel as well as the Attorney General and
the Department of State to obtain an order enjoining or restraining
commission or continuance of unlawful acts by an appearance enhancement
business.

*Prohibits operation between midnight and 5 a.m. except in certain
instances.

*Requires posting of human trafficking information at the place of busi-
ness, and establishes forfeiture provisions to be used against the busi-
ness.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined, but it is likely that this will result in an increase
in licensing and fine revenues.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

Immediate.
