Rules Applicable to All Crossover Licensees

PURPOSE: This rule establishes requirements for obtaining a crossover license. (1) Applications for any crossover license issued by the board shall be made on the forms provided by the board and shall be subject to all fees applicable to the license requested, in addition to any other fee required by law. Applications may be obtained by writing or calling the State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners at PO Box 1062, Jefferson City, MO 65102, and by telephone at (866) 762-9432. The board shall not consider any application for a crossover license, unless it is fully completed and accompanied by the applicable licensing fee. (2) Applicants who successfully complete the requirements for a crossover license shall be issued a single crossover license. Upon issuance of a crossover license, any individual barber, cosmetology, establishment, school or instructor license issued by the board shall become null and void and shall be immediately returned to the board office. A crossover licensee shall comply with all rules relating to the posting of a license issued by the board provided that a crossover licensee may display the single crossover license as evidence of licensure for both barbering and cosmetology professions. (3) Except as otherwise provided in the rules of the board, all crossover licenses shall be subject to and comply with all rules applicable to the barber and cosmetology activities or functions for which the crossover licensee is authorized to practice or conduct including, but not limited to, all applicable sanitation rules. (4) License Conversion. Subject to Chapters 328 and 329, RSMo, a crossover licensee may choose to convert a crossover license to an individual barber or cosmetology operator, school, college or establishment license, whichever is applicable, at their next renewal period or may apply to the board on the forms provided by the board and pay the license fee for the individual license requested. Upon being issued an individual license pursuant to this subsection, the applicant shall surrender and submit the crossover license to the board and the crossover license shall be terminated. (5) Display of License. The current crossover license shall be posted in a conspicuous place at all times. The crossover operator license for each individual barber or cosmetologist shall be posted at each respective work station.
