Article 28 - (430 - 447) PRACTICE OF BARBERING
435 - License without examination; temporary licenses.

 
    §  435. License without examination; temporary licenses. 1. Any person
  over the age of seventeen years who shall present to  the  secretary  of
  state  satisfactory  evidence  that  he has been actually engaged in the
  practice of barbering in this state for at least  one  year  within  the
  period  of three years immediately prior to July first, nineteen hundred
  forty-seven, shall be entitled to a license under this  article  without
  examination,  provided  that  application  therefor,  accompanied by the
  photographs, evidence and the certificate required  by  paragraphs  (a),
  (b)  and  (c),  respectively, of subdivision one of section four hundred
  thirty-four of this article and the  required  annual  license  fee,  is
  filed  with the secretary of state not later than December thirty-first,
  nineteen hundred fifty-one. Nothing in this  subdivision  shall  entitle
  any  person to such license without examination who, since the effective
  date of this article, has taken and been unsuccessful in an  examination
  conducted pursuant thereto.
    2.  The  secretary  of  state  shall  issue a temporary license to any
  person over the age of seventeen years, who, upon taking effect of  this
  article,  has  been actually and continuously engaged in the practice of
  barbering in this state for a period of not less  than  six  months,  as
  substantiated  by sworn affidavits or other evidence satisfactory to the
  secretary of state and provided application therefor, accompanied by the
  photographs, evidence, and the certificate required by  paragraphs  (a),
  (b)  and  (c),  respectively, of subdivision one of section four hundred
  thirty-four of this article and one-quarter of the required license fee,
  is filed with the secretary of state.
    3. A temporary license issued under  this  section  shall  expire  six
  months  after the date of issuance and such temporary licensee shall not
  be entitled to any further  license  until  he  has  taken  a  regularly
  scheduled  examination  and  qualified  for  a regular license under the
  provisions of this article. The secretary of state may, however, in  his
  discretion,  for  good  cause shown, extend the term of such a temporary
  license for an additional period  not  exceeding  six  months  upon  the
  payment  of  an additional fee equivalent to one-half of the license fee
  prescribed by this article.
    4. Any  person  who  has  duly  applied  for  a  license  pursuant  to
  subdivision  one  or  subdivision  two of this section may engage in the
  practice of barbering pending the determination of his application.
    5.  The  secretary  of  state  shall  upon  application  and   without
  examination,  issue  a  license  to any person over the age of seventeen
  years who  has  been  duly  licensed  by  any  other  state,  territory,
  protectorate  or  dependency  of  the  United  States  to  engage in the
  practice of barbering upon compliance with  standards  and  requirements
  not lower, in the judgment of the secretary of state, than those of this
  state, provided, however, that such state extends similar reciprocity to
  licensees  of  this  state. Such application shall be accompanied by the
  photographs, evidence and the certificate required  by  paragraphs  (a),
  (b)  and  (c),  respectively, of subdivision one of section four hundred
  thirty-four of this article and the required license fee.
    6. If any person, eligible for any license, mentioned in this section,
  be in the military service at or during the time  application  for  such
  license  is  required to be filed and license fee paid, according to the
  provisions of this section, the period within which said application may
  be filed and license fee may be paid, is  extended  in  behalf  of  such
  person,  until  three  months  after  the  termination  of said military
  service, any provision  contained  in  this  article  to  the  contrary,
  notwithstanding.
    In  the  case  of  persons who are or were in the military service and
  have  been  or  will  be  discharged   under   conditions   other   than

  dishonorable,  the  period  of  one year specified in subdivision one of
  this section and the period of six months specified in  subdivision  two
  of  this  section need not be continuous. The length of time such person
  was  engaged  in  the practice of barbering before entering the military
  service may be added to any period of time during which such person  was
  or  is  engaged  in  the  practice of barbering after the termination of
  military service.
