Bill > S944

Introduced Session

Current State law requires an individual to complete barbering instruction through a school licensed by the New Jersey State Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling, a vocational program or other program approved by the New Jersey Department of Education, or a substantially similar school or program in another state or country before an individual can be licensed as a barber. This bill creates an alternative option to obtain a barbering license by allowing an individual to complete 1250 hours of training in barbering at a board-licensed shop and under the supervision of a board-licensed barber with at least three years of experience. Current law also requires passage of a barbering examination to qualify for licensure. This bill retains that requirement, regardless of whether the individual is instructed through a school or program or completes 1250 hours of training in a licensed shop.
