Rep. Mike Amyx, D-Lawrence, and a third-generation barber, pictured Sept. 22, 2020, chimed in to support a bill modifying the Kansas Board of Barbering s authority to modify fees. He said COVID-19 could present financial issues to the industry and so flexibility is needed.
TOPEKA Kansas barbers are again pushing for a bill creating the Kansas Barbering Act, an overhaul of state standards for cutting hair professionally.
The bill would modify licensing standards to ensure all Kansas barbers receive a proper education, authorize the Kansas Board of Barbering to increase fees for testing and create new criminal penalties for violating these statutes or marketing oneself as a barber without the proper qualifications. House Bill 2419 also would modify the definition of barbering to include the head, face and neck area, and ban the display of barber poles under certain circumstances.
