This bill proposes the creation and enactment of new sections to the North Dakota Century Code regarding barber licensing, specifically introducing restricted, temporary, and retired barber licenses. It amends several existing sections to clarify definitions, requirements, and procedures related to barbering practice. Notably, it defines "licensed barber," "restricted barber," "retired barber," and "temporary barber," establishing specific criteria for each category. The bill also outlines the responsibilities of the board of barber examiners, including the appointment of members, their qualifications, and the adoption of rules for licensing and continuing education.

Additionally, the bill sets forth the requirements for obtaining restricted, temporary, and retired barber licenses, including age and experience criteria for retired barbers, and the conditions under which temporary barbers may practice. It also includes provisions for continuing education, penalties for non-compliance, and various fees associated with barber licensing and operations. The amendments aim to modernize the regulatory framework for barbers in North Dakota, ensuring that licensing processes are clear and that practitioners maintain necessary standards of education and practice.
