Which entity should be notified in writing about ownership changes in a barber shop?

• A. The customers.
• B. The local city council.
• C. The Pennsylvania Board of Barber Examiners.
• D. The trade association.

Answer: (C)

Ownership changes in a barber shop are handled through the regulatory body that oversees barber licenses and shop registrations. The Pennsylvania Board of Barber Examiners must be notified in writing so they can update the official records, verify that the new owner meets any required qualifications, and ensure the shop remains compliant with licensing rules. This protects public safety and maintains proper licensing continuity. Other entities like customers, the local city council, or a trade association do not have the same regulatory role or authority to update licensing records for ownership transfers, so they’re not the appropriate recipients for this notice.
