This bill amends several sections of South Dakota's barbering laws to revise licensing fees and renewal dates for barbers and barbershops. Specifically, it establishes that registered barbers must renew their certificates by May 31 each year, with the certificates expiring on June 1 if not renewed. The Board of Barber Examiners is tasked with setting specific fees for various services, including a $300 fee for examination and certification, a $300 annual renewal fee, and a $35 fee for restoring an expired certificate, with additional charges for each year the certificate has been expired.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that barbershops must be licensed annually before June 1, with a maximum fee of $300 for the license and $20 for each chair in the shop. Licenses must be displayed prominently and are non-transferable. The bill also mandates annual inspections of barbershops, with fees applicable for inspections and re-inspections if necessary. An emergency clause is included, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
