This bill aims to establish regulations for mobile barbershops in North Dakota by creating a new section in Chapter 43-04 of the North Dakota Century Code. It defines a "mobile barbershop" as a barbershop operated in a mobile vehicle, trailer, or structure for licensed barbers to provide services. The bill outlines the requirements for operating a mobile barbershop, including the necessity for the operator to be a licensed barber and for the mobile unit to be registered with the board of barber examiners. Additionally, it mandates that each application for a mobile barbershop must include a registration fee of $150, with a renewal fee of $100.

The bill also amends existing sections related to fees, inspections, and penalties. It specifies that the board may charge various fees for barbering services and introduces a new fee structure for mobile barbershops. Furthermore, it allows board members to inspect mobile barbershops during business hours and establishes penalties for violations of the regulations, classifying them as class B misdemeanors. Overall, the legislation seeks to ensure that mobile barbershops operate under the same standards as traditional barbershops, promoting safety and compliance within the industry.
