1998 Florida Code
TITLE XXXII REGULATION OF PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS
Chapter 476 Barbering
476.024 Purpose.
476.024 Purpose.--The Legislature recognizes that barbering is potentially dangerous to the public in that barbers work in close proximity to patrons, thus risking transmission of disease and vermin, apply various caustic chemical agents to the hair and scalp of patrons, and employ instruments which could harm patrons if improperly used. Therefore, it is deemed necessary in the interest of public health, safety, and welfare to regulate the practice of barbering in this state. However, restrictions should be imposed only to the extent necessary to protect the public from these recognized dangers and in a manner which will not unreasonably affect the competitive market.
