Title of bill
An act to amend the general business law, in relation to the eligibility criteria for a license to barber
Purpose
This legislation will clarify that an individual applying for a barber license shall not be automatically disqualified on the basis that he or she has been convicted of a crime, including but not limited to nonviolent felonies.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the bill amends subdivision 1 of section 434 of the general business law.
Section 2 of the bill amends subdivision 3 of section 438 of the business law.
Existing law
Existing law provides that applicants should not be automatically disqualified for having been convicted of a crime, but does not specify that includes the category of nonviolent felonies.
Justification
The creation of job opportunities is paramount to the survival of New York. To apply for a barber license one must establish that he or she is in fact the real business owner and possesses the title to the shop. The applicant must demonstrate good moral character. This will allow the opportunity to exist for new businesses to start and grow throughout the state.
