Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

Requirements for membership to the State Board of Barber Examiners, revised

SECTION 1. Section 40-7-30 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:

"Section 40-7-30. The State Board of Barber Examiners is established to consist of five members appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate for terms of four years and until successors are appointed and qualify. Four members must be experienced barbers who have engaged in the practice of barbering for at least five years in the State. At least two of the experienced barbers must be licensed as master haircare specialists. One member must be a public member not connected with the practice of barbering. The public member has all the rights and privileges of the other board members except he may not participate in the examination of an applicant for a license. The Governor may remove a member for good cause shown and appoint a member to fill the unexpired term."

Requirements for nonresident barbers

SECTION 2. Section 40-7-160 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 87 of 1989, is further amended to read:

"Section 40-7-160. A person who has practiced barbering in another state or country which has licensing requirements which meet or exceed South Carolina's, as determined by the board, and who moves into this State, before practicing barbering in South Carolina, shall present:

(1) notarized statements from previous employers establishing that he has been licensed and actively has practiced barbering for the preceding two calendar years;

(2) a letter from the licensing board of the state or country from which he is moving verifying that he is licensed and in good standing with the board;

(3) a certificate that he has read, understands, and will abide by the regulations and statutes of this State;

(4) a completed application for a certificate of registration upon a form provided by the board.

Upon receipt of these documents the board shall issue to him a certificate of registration to practice barbering in this State. A fee in the amount established by the board by regulation must be submitted with the application."

Repeal

SECTION 3. Sections 40-7-80 and 40-7-90 of the 1976 Code are repealed.
