Legal Opinions

The Department of State has issued a legal opinion to explain that business and individual licenses must be posted in the business so that they can be easily seen by the public and employees.

Business owners cannot demand money from another, including a nail trainee, to provide the business license number.  

Additionally, business owners cannot demand that a worker surrender physical custody of their individual license.

A violation of these requirements will subject the business owner to discipline, including license revocation or suspension, or a fine of up to $500 per violation.
