H.R. No. 1519 is a resolution passed by the Texas House of Representatives during the 89th Legislature in 2025, which seeks to suspend certain rules to allow a conference committee to address specific amendments to House Bill 705, related to the Cosmetology Licensure Compact. The resolution specifically suspends House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(4) to enable the committee to add provisions that clarify the state's participation in the compact. One amendment states that if the Cosmetology Licensure Compact Commission finds that Texas's legislation is materially different from the model compact, Texas will not be considered a member of the compact, rendering any related provisions null and void.
Additionally, the resolution allows for the inclusion of a provision that permits the state to withdraw from the compact at any time through a proclamation by the governor or other executive action, while adhering to the notice and temporary recognition requirements outlined in the compact. This resolution was adopted by the House with a vote of 96 in favor, 36 against, and 3 present but not voting on June 1, 2025.
