What’s in it
AI summary Barbershops in Iowa can now offer official apprenticeship programs to train new barbers. To do this, a licensed barber with at least three years of experience must supervise the students. Once someone finishes the program, they are allowed to take the exam to get their professional barber license.1
Read the official explanation
This bill allows barbershops to provide barbering apprenticeship training programs registered by the office of apprenticeship of the United States department of labor. The bill provides that a person supervising apprentices shall be a licensed barber with at least three years of experience. The bill requires a barbershop to report to the board of barbering the name of each person enrolled in an apprenticeship training program, as well as such other information as the board may require, and allows the board to charge a barbershop a fee of no more than $20 per apprentice. A person who completes an apprenticeship training program offered by a barbershop in this state shall be allowed to take the examination for a license to practice barbering.
