ASSEMBLY COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
COMMITTEE
STATEMENT TO
ASSEMBLY, No. 3589
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, this 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.
