HB 1049: Barber Shop Management

H.B. 1049, P.N. 1959 (YEWCIC) This would amend the Barbers’ License Law, Act 202 of 1931, P.L. 589.
This would require a barber shop to always be under the supervision of a manager-barber or a designated licensee, as opposed to current law requiring supervision of a manager-barber. This would allow a licensed individual designated by a barber shop owner to be in charge of the shop. Such a designated person, the manager-barber, and the shop owner would be required to be readily available for board inspectors during regular business hours.

As amended in committee, the above bill replaced the following:

H.B. 1049, P.N. 1205 (YEWCIC) This would amend the Barbers’ License Law, Act 202 of 1931, P.L. 589.
This would allow an individual designated by a barber shop owner to be in charge of the shop. (Thus, such a designated person need not be a barber.) Current law requires a barber shop manager-barber to be in charge of a barber shop at all times. Such a designated person and the shop owner would be required to be readily available for board inspectors during regular business hours.
