AN ACT to make changes to the statutes governing apprenticeships and temporary permits for licensure issued by the state board of barber examiners.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

SECTION 1.  G.S. 86A‑11 reads as rewritten:

"§ 86A‑11.  Temporary permits.

(e)        Notwithstanding the apprenticeship requirements in G.S. 86A‑3 and G.S. 86A‑24, for graduates of a barber school that pass the initial written examination and pass the initial practical examination with a score of eighty‑five percent (85%) or higher, the Board shall grant a temporary permit upon payment of the fee authorized under G.S. 86A‑25. One year after receiving a temporary permit pursuant to this subsection, the permittee may apply for examination and certification to become a registered barber pursuant to this Chapter. A temporary permit issued pursuant to this subsection shall remain valid until the first Board examination of applicants for certification as a registered barber is held that is more than one year after issuance of the temporary permit."

SECTION 2.  G.S. 86A‑24 reads as rewritten:

"§ 86A‑24.  Apprenticeship.

(a)        Before being issued an apprentice license, an applicant must pass an examination conducted by the Board to determine his the applicant's competence, including his the applicant's knowledge of barbering, sanitary rules and regulations, and knowledge of diseases of the face, skin and scalp.

(d)       Applicants who pass the initial written examination and pass the practical examination with a score of eighty‑five percent (85%) or higher shall be exempt from the apprenticeship requirement and shall be allowed to apply for a temporary permit pursuant to G.S. 86A‑11(e). Applicants who pass the initial written examination and pass the initial practical examination with a score of less than eighty‑five percent (85%) shall be permitted to retake the initial practical examination no more than two additional times upon payment of the fee authorized under G.S. 86A‑25. Individuals holding a current and valid apprentice license that have passed the initial written examination and have passed the initial practical examination with a score of eighty‑five percent (85%) or higher shall be entitled to obtain a temporary permit pursuant to this subsection upon payment of the fee authorized under G.S. 86A‑25."
