The proposed bill amends various 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 eligibility criteria. The bill also outlines the requirements for obtaining these licenses, including passing examinations and completing specific training. Additionally, it mandates that the board of barber examiners adopt rules for licensing procedures, continuing education, and fees associated with barbering.

The bill further modifies the structure and responsibilities of the board of barber examiners, including the appointment process and qualifications for board members. It specifies the continuing education requirements for licensed barbers and introduces penalties for non-compliance. The fee structure for various barbering services and licenses is also updated, including examination fees and penalties for late renewals. Overall, the bill aims to modernize and clarify the regulations surrounding barbering practices in North Dakota, ensuring that licensing standards are maintained while accommodating the needs of retired and temporarily licensed barbers.
