Concerns licensure of persons rendering barbering services in another state or foreign country.

This bill extends a three-year pilot program for another three years, allowing barbers who previously worked in a country or state without barbering licenses to obtain a temporary permit to practice in New Jersey for up to 120 days (with possible extensions) while applying for a full license. It also streamlines licensing for barbers from other states or countries with similar standards, eliminating the need for an exam, and requires three years of practical experience for those from jurisdictions with less stringent rules. The temporary permit mandates supervision by a licensed New Jersey barber and ensures compliance with state law during the application process. The program applies to specific cities in New Jersey and will be evaluated for effectiveness after completion.
