This bill amends existing laws regarding barber colleges in Louisiana, specifically addressing student admission age requirements and the qualifications for out-of-state registered barbers. The legislation lowers the minimum age for student admission from 17 to 16 years, allowing students to enroll in a board-approved barber college that operates within a state high school as early as their freshman year.

Additionally, the bill modifies the age requirement for out-of-state barbers seeking certification in Louisiana, changing the minimum age from 18 to 17 years. These changes aim to facilitate greater access to barber education and streamline the process for out-of-state barbers to practice in Louisiana.
