ASSEMBLY, No. 1060  

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  DECEMBER 18, 2023

      The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Assembly Bill No. 1060 (1R).

      This bill provides that persons who, prior to moving to New Jersey, rendered barbering services in a professional capacity in another state or foreign country that does not issue licenses to render barbering services, may qualify for a temporary permit under the three-year pilot program, which was established in P.L.2019, c.20 (C.45:5B-28) and is extended for an additional three years.

     Under the bill, a temporary permit issued under the pilot program shall be valid for a period of 120 days and shall be subject to extension if the applicant continues to meet the requirements of the pilot program and the application for issuance of a license remains pending.

     Under current law, the three-year pilot program applies only to those persons who possess a license to render barbering services in another state or foreign country and who meet certain other criteria.

      As reported by the committee, Assembly Bill No. 1060 (1R) is identical to Senate Bill No. 3686, as amended and reported by the committee on this date.
