BARBERS: Provides for student age requirements for barber college admissions
This bill updates the rules for barber colleges in Louisiana by setting the minimum age for student admission at sixteen, with an exception allowing high school freshmen to enroll if the college operates within a high school. It also adds a new section to allow out-of-state registered barbers to apply for a certificate to practice in Louisiana if they meet specific qualifications and pay the required fee. The legislation clarifies that these new provisions apply to both existing and future barbering regulations.
