Bill Summary
Amending the act of June 19, 1931 (P.L.589, No.202), entitled "An act to promote the public health and safety, by providing for the examination and licensure of those who desire to engage in the profession of barbering; regulating barber shops and barber schools, and students therein; regulating compensation for service rendered; conferring certain powers and duties on the Department of State; and providing penalties," further providing for State Board of Barber Examiners.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Barbers' License Law by modifying the quorum requirements for the State Board of Barber Examiners. Currently, the law specified that six members of the board must be present to constitute a quorum. The bill changes this provision to state that a majority of the board members who are lawfully serving on the board shall constitute a quorum for conducting the board's business. This change provides more flexibility in the board's operations by allowing a quorum to be determined based on the current number of active board members, rather than a fixed number of six. The bill will take effect immediately upon enactment, which means the new quorum rule will be in place as soon as the bill is signed into law.
