The barber license law should never be used to:

  1. test competency

  2. limit the number of licensees

  3. protect the patron

  4. discipline barbers

The correct answer is: limit the number of licensees

The barber license law is in place to ensure that all barbers meet a certain level of competency and to protect the health and safety of patrons. Therefore, using it to restrict the number of licensees would go against these purposes. Option A is incorrect because testing competency is one of the main intentions of the law. Option C is incorrect as protecting patrons is a fundamental aspect of the law. Option D is incorrect because disciplining barbers is necessary for enforcing the law and maintaining standards. Option B is the only option that goes against the purpose and intention of the barber license law.
