SCS SB 934 -- BARBER SHOP LICENSES SPONSOR: Engler (Tilley) COMMITTEE ACTION: Voted "do pass by consent" by the Committee on Professional Registration and Licensing by a vote of 12 to 0. This substitute allows a 45-day grace period for obtaining a new sanitary license when a barber shop changes ownership or location. During this period, inspections will be conducted without requiring the business to close or deviate from its regular hours of operation. FISCAL NOTE: No impact on state funds in FY 2007, FY 2008, and FY 2009. PROPONENTS: Supporters say that if a barber shop is sold, it must remain closed until the State Board of Cosmetology and Barber Examiners inspects it. The bill allows these businesses to remain open and conduct business until the board does an inspection. Testifying for the bill was Senator Engler. OPPONENTS: There was no opposition voiced to the committee. Bob Dominique, Legislative AnalystCopyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
