The bill proposes that New Jersey join the Cosmetology Licensure Compact, which aims to create a multistate licensing system for cosmetologists, allowing them to practice across state lines without needing additional licenses, provided they meet specific requirements. The compact's goals include improving public access to cosmetology services, enhancing safety, and reducing unnecessary licensure burdens. Member states will collaborate on the regulation of cosmetology licenses, with provisions for monitoring adverse actions against licensees and establishing the Cosmetology Licensure Compact Commission to oversee the compact's administration.

Additionally, the bill outlines the operational structure of the Commission, including the selection of delegates, the establishment of an executive committee, and procedures for public meetings and financial management. It emphasizes transparency by requiring public access to meetings and the publication of an annual report. The Commission will also develop a coordinated database to track licensure data and adverse actions against licensees. The bill includes provisions for rulemaking authority, dispute resolution, and the process for member states to withdraw from the compact, ensuring that the streamlined licensure process maintains compliance with established standards and public safety.
