This bill amends the Barbers' License Law, originally enacted on June 19, 1931, specifically focusing on the quorum requirements for the State Board of Barber Examiners. The amendment modifies Section 2.2(d) by deleting the previous requirement that six members of the board constitute a quorum. Instead, it establishes that a majority of the members who are lawfully serving on the board will now constitute a quorum for conducting board business.
The changes aim to streamline the decision-making process within the board by allowing a quorum to be determined by a simple majority of active members, rather than a fixed number. This adjustment is intended to enhance the board's efficiency in fulfilling its responsibilities related to the examination and licensure of barbers, as well as the regulation of barber shops and schools. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
