Licensed barbers would be allowed to offer in-home services under a bill discussed by the Health and Human Services Committee Jan. 23.<\/p>\n

LB755, introduced by Sen. Carol Blood of Bellevue, would require barbers working at a client\u2019s home to obtain a permit from the state Board of Barber Examiners. The bill also would allow nail technicians to offer in-home services. A permit fee has not yet been proposed.<\/p>\n

LB755 also would expand the definition of who qualifies for home services to include people with persistent physical and mental disabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cA home barber permit applies to consumers that are immobilized and cannot leave their home,\u201d Blood said.<\/p>\n

Blood said Nebraska\u2019s aging population will increase demand for in-home services. The new permit also would give a break to caregivers who may be homebound along with their loved ones, she said.<\/p>\n

Ken Allen, director of the Nebraska Board of Barber Examiners, testified in favor of LB755. Under current law, it is illegal for a barber to provide services at an unlicensed residence, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest part of this bill is legalizing a licensed barber to go into a home and perform these kinds of services,\u201d Allen said.<\/p>\n

He said equipment and chemicals used during in-home visits would be inspected regularly.<\/p>\n

No one spoke in opposition to LB755 and the committee took no immediate action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
