  Governor Signs Bill for Better Hair web posted May 15, 2008 COLUMBIA – South Carolina took one giant step toward cleaner, shinier, healthier hair today with Governor Mark Sanford's signature of H.3803, a new law removing the legal requirement for shampooers to receive the same state-mandated 1,500 hours of training that cosmetologists receive. Unfortunately, the bill does nothing to address the fact that state law requires 1,500 hours of training to be a cosmetologist - almost four times the amount of state-required training to become a police officer (396 hours of training) - and just one of a number of examples of overregulation by state government that Governor Sanford highlighted during the news conference. "While we're having some fun with this bill today, it does raise a serious issue about overregulation in South Carolina, which in a lot of cases is more about protecting the profits of people in a particular industry rather than protecting the consumer," Gov. Sanford said. "Other times, laws are outdated or just plain silly. But the bottom line is that we need to take a serious look at places where we can peel back unnecessary government interference, and we need to do it in a way that takes as little time away from more pressing issues as possible." ©
