Establish alternative “apprenticeship” requirements in barber licensure mandate

Introduced in the Senate

Feb. 10, 2021

Introduced by Sen. Wayne Schmidt (R-37)

To revise a state licensure mandate imposed on barbers that requires 1,800 hours of instruction at a “licensed barber college” before an individual can earn a living at this trade. The bill would allow an individual to substitute “apprenticeship” hours for the barber college mandate, if this met a lengthy list of requirements specified in the bill.
