with
committee amendments

STATE
OF NEW JERSEY

DATED: MARCH
20, 2023

The Assembly Commerce and Economic Development
Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 3589 with committee amendments.

As amended, t his bill establishes a general barbering license and a barbering
apprenticeship. As a general barber, an individual can perform the following
services: (1) shampooing, cutting, including clipper cutting, and styling of
the hair; (2) shaving or trimming of the beard, mustache, or other facial hair;
and (3) massaging, cleansing, or stimulating the face. In the bill, a barbering
or general barbering apprenticeship is two years. To be a barbering or general
barbering apprentice, an individual has to show proof of being at least 17
years of age, of good moral character, and of being free of any communicable,
contagious or infectious disease. A shop approved by the board to host an
apprenticeship is to meet requirements established in current law and in the
bill in regards to licensure as a shop and the employment of the proper
professionals to oversee the management of the shop. An apprenticeship, under
the bill, can be for an individual seeking a barbering license or a general
barbering license. Upon completion of the apprenticeship, an individual is
given the option to apply for licensure by the board.

Lastly,
hours to train as a general barber are established in the bill to not exceed
550 hours of instruction. As part of the 550 hours of instruction, general barbering
applicants are to be trained in shears-over-comb techniques, shop management,
ethics, and a review of State laws and regulations.

COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS:

Proposed
committee amendments would specify that an apprentice must complete courses in
sanitation and safety. The amendments would also clarify that the bill is not
intended to limit the State Board of Education’s authority to establish courses
in sanitation and safety for barbers and barbering apprentices.
