Mobile barbershops; authorize licensed barbers to operate.

HB 1161 would have allowed licensed barbers in Mississippi to operate mobile barbershops - transportable units providing barbering services at various locations - subject to specific regulations. It required barbers to obtain annual permits from the State Board of Barber Examiners, undergo inspections before operating, maintain detailed records of service locations, and stay physically present during all services. The bill also mandated annual renewals, prohibited permit transfers, and required compliance with health and safety regulations. Despite passing committee referral in early 2026, it died in committee on February 3, 2026, and never became law. The proposed effective date was July 1, 2026, if enacted.
