WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 3

A SEPARATE BARBERSHOP PERMIT IS REQUIRED FOR EACH BARBERSHOP
THAT A PERSON OPERATES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 56, § 434,
as it related to obtaining a license.

This section is revised as a duty of the person who
"operate[s]" a barbershop, rather than the "owner" of
the barbershop, for clarity.

The word "permit" is substituted for the former word
"license", to conform to changes in terminology made
throughout this article with regard to other business
occupations. See the General Revisor's Note to this
article.

Defined terms: "Barbershop" § 4-101
"Barbershop permit" § 4-101 "Board" § 4-101
"Person" § 1-101
