sans-serif">House Bill 5054 (Substitute H-1 as reported without amendment)

Sponsor: Representative Chris Ward

House Committee: Regulatory Reform

Senate Committee: Economic Development, Small Business and Regulatory Reform

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Occupational Code to expand the exceptions to the requirement that barber services be provided only in a facility licensed by the Department of Consumer and Industry Services.

Currently, a barber may provide services to a patient in a hospital, nursing home, home for the aged, or similar facility or to a person requiring home care because of age or illness. Under the bill, a barber could perform services in those places if it were impractical or unsafe for the patient or person to travel due to frailty, age, injury, or illness.
