Bill Summary

This bill provides that persons who, prior to moving to New Jersey, rendered barbering services in a professional capacity in another state or foreign country that does not issue licenses to render barbering services, may qualify for a temporary permit under the three-year pilot program, which was established in P.L.2019, c.20 (C.45:5B-28) and is extended for an additional three years. The pilot program is applicable to a pilot city, which is defined in the bill to mean Elizabeth, Passaic, Paterson, and Perth Amboy. Under the bill, a temporary permit issued under the pilot program shall be valid for a period of 120 days and shall be subject to extension if the applicant continues to meet the requirements of the pilot program and the application for issuance of a license remains pending. Under current law, the three-year pilot program applies only to those persons who possess a license to render barbering services in another state or foreign country and who meet certain other criteria.

AI Summary

This bill extends a three-year pilot program for barbering licenses in New Jersey for an additional three years, allowing individuals who previously practiced barbering in states or foreign countries without licensing requirements to obtain a temporary permit. This temporary permit, valid for 120 days and potentially extendable, is specifically for individuals who have either a license from another jurisdiction or can certify they practiced barbering professionally in a non-licensing jurisdiction before moving to New Jersey, and it applies to designated "pilot cities" which include Elizabeth, Passaic, Paterson, and Perth Amboy. The program aims to help these individuals continue practicing while their applications for a New Jersey barber license are processed, provided they are under the supervision of a licensed New Jersey barber and are making a good faith effort to obtain their license.
