HB 1229 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 members of the State Board of Barber Examiners.

HB 1229 amends Pennsylvania's 1931 Barbers' License Law to add citizenship and residency requirements for members of the State Board of Barber Examiners. Specifically, it requires that all six professional barber board members must be U.S. citizens and Pennsylvania residents, in addition to already needing to be registered barbers with five years of practice. This change affects the composition of the board that oversees barber licensing and regulation, not the licensing process itself. The bill is a minor procedural update to board membership qualifications and has not yet been enacted.
