This bill amends section 71-216.01 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska, specifically altering the requirements for applicants taking the barber examination. The new provisions allow applicants who fail the barber examination to retake it a second time without needing to complete additional coursework. However, if they fail a second time, they must complete a further course of study in barbering totaling five hundred hours, with a maximum of ten hours per day. After completing two hundred fifty hours, applicants may have the opportunity to test out of the remaining coursework, but if they do not pass, they must finish the remaining hours before being eligible for a third examination attempt.

The bill also repeals the original section, which contained similar provisions but included different stipulations regarding the timeframe for completing the required coursework and the process for retaking the examination. The changes aim to streamline the examination process for aspiring barbers while ensuring they receive adequate training if they do not pass the exam on their initial attempts.
