  7  5    Sec. 12.  Section 157.13, subsection 1, Code 2003, is
  7  6 amended to read as follows:
  7  7    1.  It is unlawful for a person to employ an individual to
  7  8 practice cosmetology arts and sciences unless that individual
  7  9 is licensed or has obtained a temporary permit under this
  7 10 chapter.  It is unlawful for a licensee to practice with or
  7 11 without compensation in any place other than a licensed salon,
  7 12 a licensed school of cosmetology arts and sciences, or a

  7 14 licensee may practice at a location which is not a licensed
  7 15 salon or school of cosmetology arts and sciences under
  7 16 extenuating circumstances arising from physical or mental

  7 19 for a licensed cosmetologist to work in a licensed barbershop.
  7 20 It is unlawful for a person to employ a licensed
  7 21 cosmetologist, esthetician, or electrologist to perform the
  7 22 services described in section 157.3A if the licensee has not
  7 23 received the additional training and met the other
  7 24 requirements specified in section 157.3A.
  7 25    Sec. 13.  Section 157.13, Code 2003, is amended by adding
  7 26 the following new subsection:
  7 27    NEW SUBSECTION.  3.  If the board has reasonable grounds to
  7 28 believe that a person or establishment which is not licensed
  7 29 under this chapter has engaged, or is about to engage, in an
  7 30 act or practice which requires licensure under this chapter,
  7 31 or otherwise violates a provision of this chapter, the board
  7 32 may issue an order to require the unlicensed person or
  7 33 establishment to comply with the provisions of this chapter,
  7 34 and may impose a civil penalty not to exceed one thousand
  7 35 dollars for each violation of this chapter by an unlicensed
  8  1 person or establishment.  Each day of a continued violation
  8  2 after an order or citation by the board constitutes a separate
  8  3 offense, with the maximum penalty not to exceed ten thousand
  8  4 dollars.
  8  5    a.  In determining the amount of a civil penalty, the board
  8  6 may consider the following:
  8  7    (1)  Whether the amount imposed will be a substantial
  8  8 economic deterrent to the violation.
  8  9    (2)  The circumstances leading to or resulting in the
  8 10 violation.
  8 11    (3)  The severity of the violation and the risk of harm to
  8 12 the public.
  8 13    (4)  The economic benefits gained by the violator as a
  8 14 result of noncompliance.
  8 15    (5)  The welfare or best interest of the public.
  8 16    b.  The board may conduct an investigation as needed to
  8 17 determine whether probable cause exists to initiate the
  8 18 proceedings described in this subsection.  Before issuing an
  8 19 order or citation under this section, the board shall provide
  8 20 written notice and the opportunity to request a hearing on the
  8 21 record.  The hearing must be requested within thirty days of
  8 22 the issuance of the notice and shall be conducted as provided
  8 23 in chapter 17A.  The board may, in connection with a
  8 24 proceeding under this section, issue subpoenas to compel the
  8 25 attendance and testimony of witnesses and the disclosure of
  8 26 evidence and may request the attorney general to bring an
  8 27 action to enforce the subpoena.
  8 28    c.  A person aggrieved by the imposition of a civil penalty
  8 29 under this section may seek judicial review in accordance with
  8 30 section 17A.19.  The board shall notify the attorney general
  8 31 of the failure to pay a civil penalty within thirty days after
  8 32 entry of an order pursuant to this subsection, or within ten
  8 33 days following final judgment in favor of the board if an
  8 34 order has been stayed pending appeal.  The attorney general
  8 35 may commence an action to recover the amount of the penalty,
  9  1 including reasonable attorney fees and costs.  An action to
  9  2 enforce an order under this subsection may be joined with an
  9  3 action for an injunction.
