§ 65-1815 — Examinations for licensure; times, places, content and required grade; reexamination; applications; seminar permits

The board shall conduct examinations for applicants for licensure to practice barbering at such times and places as the board shall determine; but examinations shall be given not less than twice in each year. Such examination shall include both a practical demonstration and a written test of the applicant's knowledge of hygiene and the fundamentals of the vocation. A license to practice shall be issued each applicant who shall satisfactorily pass both the practical demonstration and the written test with a grade of not less than 80%, and shall possess the other qualifications required by law. The board shall allow an applicant who fails one part of the examination to be reexamined only on that part which was failed. Each application to practice shall contain, in addition to any other information required by the board or by law, the name, address, social security number, height, weight and age of the applicant to whom issued. The board may issue seminar permits to barbers and teachers holding valid licenses from Kansas or any other state or country, to teach and demonstrate the art of advanced barbering. Such seminar permit shall be restricted to prescribed dates and places, but in no instance shall it be valid for more than five days. No such seminar permit shall be required of any barber or teacher demonstrating the art of advanced barbering at no cost to those viewing such demonstration.
