Committee approves bill limiting barber-pole advertising to licensed barbering practices
Summary
The Municipal and Public Affairs Committee unanimously passed House Bill 3187, which would restrict the use of barber poles for advertising to licensed barbering practices and provides a descriptive definition of a barber pole.
The Municipal and Public Affairs Committee voted unanimously to pass House Bill 3187, a measure that would limit barber-pole advertising to licensed barbering practices.
Miss Brumfield summarized the bill for the committee, saying, "House Bill 31 87 allows only a licensed barbering practice to display a barber pole for the purpose of advertising," and adding that the bill describes a barber pole as "a cylinder or a pole with alternating stripes or a combination including but not limited to red and white or red, white, and blue, which run diagonally along the length of the pole." The committee heard no public testimony on the measure during the hearing.
After a brief procedural exchange the committee moved to a vote. The clerk conducted a roll call; Mister Bustos, Miss Davis, Miss Edgerton, Mister Jones, Mister Sanders, Mister Magnuson and Mister Scott were recorded as voting 'Aye.' The chair declared all in favor and the bill was advanced out of committee.
The committee did not take amendments or require additional committee direction on the measure. The next procedural step for House Bill 3187 will be determined by the legislative calendar and committee referrals, which were not specified during the meeting.
