STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Twelve
AN ACT relative to requirements to obtain a barber license.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
1 Findings. The general court finds that the requirement for 800 hours of instruction or 1,600 hours of apprenticeship to take the barbering examination in order to become a licensed barber is arbitrary, unnecessary, and burdensome. The general court intends that qualifications for licensure as a barber should be measured by the person’s ability to properly perform a task, not by an attendance record.
2 Repeals. The following are repealed:
I. RSA 313-A:10, I(b), relative to requirement for high school education or equivalent.
II. RSA 313-A:10, I(c), relative to requirement for hours of training.
III. RSA 313-A:10, II, relative to granting of exemptions from education and training requirements.
3 Rulemaking; Reference to Exemption. Amend RSA 313-A:8, XVI to read as follows:
XVI. The process of requesting and granting exemptions under RSA [313-A:10, II;] 313-A:11, II[;] and 313-A:12, II; and
4 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
