Bill > HB1083

This bill amends the Barbers' License Law to update definitions and regulations related to barber shops, with a specific focus on mobile barber units. The bill defines a "mobile unit" as a self-contained, mobile establishment that must be at least 24 feet long, licensed by the board, and comply with health and safety regulations. It modifies inspection and licensing requirements for barber shops, including mobile units, by specifying that no new shop can open without prior board inspection and approval. The bill also clarifies that rooms used as barber shops must be used solely for barbering, manicuring, shoe shining, and related approved businesses, and prohibits residential use of such spaces. Additionally, the bill requires the department to maintain records of barber shop locations, including addresses for mobile unit owners, and allows the department to provide copies of these records to the public for a reasonable reproduction fee. The changes aim to ensure proper sanitation, safety, and regulation of barber establishments, including the emerging category of mobile barber shops. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage.
