This article is so one sided and its caused mass hysteria, i went to the hush hush meeting on Sunday the only people that were invited where those that Oppose the new law. This "NEW" law was made in 2015 but the letters weren't sent out until January of 2016 it gave every manicurist a year and a half to comply.  There needs to be some sort of education. The 12 hour is a joke, sanitation they say so why do so why are so many people getting fungus per pedicure and damage done to the nail? Can any one tell me what the cuticle is?  You realize the 12 hour only covers sanitation yet they can go out and do every thing that a 250 endorsement person can.
Grandfather's those people in that have a current license. Simple. Why wait a few months before its enforced to cause controversy? Or was this planned?
