Board of Barber Examiners provisions modified.
HF 3528 modifies Minnesota's Board of Barber Examiners by requiring one board member to represent a barber union (with at least two years of existence) and another to represent a barber professional organization. It reduces fees for barbers, including lowering the practical exam cost from $85 to $80 and adjusting other registration fees. The bill directly affects barbers seeking certification, barber schools, and barber shops by updating their registration requirements and removing outdated administrative rules. These changes streamline the licensing process while maintaining public safety standards for barber services.
