  4 15                           EXPLANATION
  4 16    This bill provides for modifications relating to barbering
  4 17 licensure requirements and establishes an apprentice program
  4 18 for barbers.
  4 19    The bill provides that the course of study required for
  4 20 licensure as a barber shall consist of 1,800 hours of
  4 21 coursework, at least 1,200 hours of which shall be spent in
  4 22 supervised practical instruction.  Previously, these
  4 23 requirements were 2,100 and 1,400 hours, respectively.  The
  4 24 bill also provides for a twelve-month completion interval for
  4 25 course of study requirements, increased from the current ten-
  4 26 month requirement, and makes specified adjustments in the
  4 27 number of hours of lecture, demonstration, and practical
  4 28 supervision to be provided.  The bill also provides that the
  4 29 course of study requirement shall not apply if an applicant
  4 30 for licensure has successfully completed an apprentice program
  4 31 for barbers.
  4 32    The bill provides that an apprentice program for barbers
  4 33 shall be established by the department of public health, and
  4 34 shall consist of a minimum of six months of practical
  4 35 experience in the practice of barbering under the direct
  5  1 supervision of a licensed barber.  The bill provides that an
  5  2 applicant for the apprentice program for barbers shall
  5  3 register with the board and pay a registration fee established
  5  4 by the board.  The bill provides that the applicant shall
  5  5 submit a statement from a supervising barber verifying the
  5  6 prospective apprenticeship and agreeing to terms of
  5  7 supervision and periodic evaluation.  The bill makes
  5  8 conforming changes to Code chapter 158 relating to
  5  9 establishment of the apprentice program for barbers, and
  5 10 eliminates instruction related to licensure requirements.
  5 11    The bill provides that the license suspension and
  5 12 revocation provisions of Code section 158.12, and the
  5 13 provisions specifying violations contained in Code section
  5 14 158.13, shall be applicable to apprentice barbers.
  5 15    The bill additionally provides for an exemption from
  5 16 continuing education requirements as a condition of license
  5 17 renewal for barbers under specified circumstances.  The bill
  5 18 provides that a barber shall be exempt from continuing
  5 19 education requirements if the barber has continuously held a
  5 20 license to practice barbering in Iowa and been engaged in the
  5 21 practice of barbering in Iowa during the 20-year period
  5 22 immediately preceding the licensure renewal date.
