Does it increase barriers to entry into the market? Examples include occupational licensure, the minimum wage, and restrictions on home businesses. Conversely, does it remove barriers to entry into the market?

House Bill 139 in this legislative session will fix this and other problems with the Barber Board, but it will not take effect until July 1.
