PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE
Subchapter A. THE BOARD
22 TAC §51.3
The Texas State Board of Barber Examiners adopts an amendment
to Rule §51.3 (Administrative Fines) to add fines for violations of the
proposed new Rule §51.91 that clarifies the responsibilities of barber
shop and specialty shop owners and managers in regard to verifying the licenses
and permits of all employees and independent contractors (booth renters) who
engage in barbering in the shop. The fine for allowing an independent contractor
without a license or a booth rental permit to engage in barbering in a shop
would be $500 for the first offense, $750 for the second offense, and $1,000
for the third and subsequent offenses. The fines for allowing an employee
or independent contractor to engage in barbering with an expired license or
an expired booth rental permit would be $100 for the first offense, $300 for
the second offense, and $500 for the third and subsequent offenses. The amendment
to §51.3 is adopted without changes to the proposed text as published
in the January 14, 2005, issue of the
Texas Register
(30 TexReg 69) and will not be republished.
The amendment is adopted to increase compliance by licensees and permit
holders with the statutes and rules under which they are regulated and help
ensure that all individuals engaged in barbering in a barber shop or specialty
shop have the appropriate current licenses and permits issued by the Board.
No comments were received on the proposed amendment to the rule.
This amendment is proposed under the Texas Occupations Code Chapter
1601.151 which provides the Texas State Board of Barber Examiners with the
authority to adopt and enforce all rules necessary for the performance of
its duties, and under TOC Chapter 1601.155 which provides the Board with the
authority to set fees, and under TOC Chapter 1601.701 which provides the Board
with the authority to impose administrative penalties.

by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's legal authority.
