House committee substitute to the 1st edition makes the following changes.

Part I.

Specifies that subsection (b) of GS 88A-9 (providing for fees relating to electrologist licensure) rather than the entire statute is recodified as GS 86B-53 of Article 3 of new GS Chapter 86B, Barber and Electrolysis Practice Act.

Revises new GS Chapter 86B as follows. Now establishes a nine-member rather than seven-member NC Board of Barber and Electrolysis Examiners (Board). Changes membership and appointment of the Board, now providing for five licensed barbers and two practicing electrologists to be legislatively appointed, and one licensed physician and one public member to be gubernatorially appointed (previously, provided for four licensed barbers, one practicing electrologist, one licensed physician, and one public member, all appointed by the Governor). Maintains member qualifications. 

Corrects statutory cross-references in GS 86B-19, GS 86B-48, and GS 86B-50.

Makes a technical change to GS 86B-48, relating to the Board's duty to adopt rules governing the electrology apprenticeship program. 

Part II.

Makes conforming changes to the appointment of members serving on the Board of Electrolysis Examiners as of December 31, 2021, to the Board of Barber and Electrolysis Examiners (Board) to reflect the legislative appointment of two electrologists to the Board pursuant to new GS 86B-1, as amended. Provides for the appointed electrologists to serve three-year terms, beginning January 1, 2022, as previously specified.

Makes further technical changes, including technical changes to the act's effective date provisions.
