HB 1083 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of June 19, 1931 (P.L.589, No.202), referred to as the Barbers' License Law, further providing for definitions, for rules and regulations and for records.

HB 1083 updates Pennsylvania's 1931 Barbers' License Law to clarify definitions and modernize regulations. It specifically defines "mobile unit" as a self-contained barber establishment at least 24 feet long that must be licensed by the board and meet health/safety standards. The bill requires the Department of State to maintain public records of licensed barber shops (including addresses of mobile unit owners) and allows a reasonable fee for copies. It also mandates that shops display a visible notice with a consumer complaint phone number and requires inspections to be conducted by authorized agents (not board members), with approved premises displaying a seal or sticker. These changes primarily affect barber shops, mobile barber units, and their operators.
