This bill amends and reenacts several sections of the North Dakota Century Code related to barber licensing and introduces new categories of barber licenses, including restricted, temporary, and retired barber licenses. Key definitions are established, such as "licensed barber," "restricted barber," "retired barber," and "temporary barber," each with specific requirements for practice. The bill also outlines the responsibilities and composition of the board of barber examiners, including the appointment of members and the establishment of rules for licensing and continuing education.

Additionally, the bill specifies the requirements for obtaining restricted, temporary, and retired barber licenses. For instance, a restricted barber must demonstrate competence in specific areas and work in a licensed host shop, while a temporary barber can practice under supervision until they pass the licensing examination. The retired barber license allows individuals aged 65 or older or those with at least 20 years of experience to practice in a limited capacity. The bill also includes provisions for fees associated with various barbering licenses and services, ensuring that the board can regulate and maintain standards within the profession.
