Summary

The bill lets people who work as trainees in a licensed barbershop become licensed barbers after up to four years of supervised training and passing a board exam. It requires barbershops to register, notify customers that a trainee is providing the service, and keep a supervisor‑to‑trainee ratio of at most one licensed barber for every four trainees. The Board for Barbers and Cosmetology will oversee registration, exam eligibility, and penalties.
