The resolution proposes a partial suspension of House Rule 13, Section 9(a) to allow a conference committee to address specific matters related to House Bill 705, which pertains to the Cosmetology Licensure Compact and associated fees. The committee is authorized to add new provisions that were not included in either the House or Senate versions of the bill. One significant addition clarifies that Texas will not be considered a member of the compact if the language in Chapter 1604 of the Occupations Code is found to be materially different from the model legislation of the compact. In such a case, any provisions attempting to enact or implement the compact would be rendered null and void.

Additionally, the resolution allows for the inclusion of a new section that specifies the state's ability to withdraw from the compact at any time through a proclamation by the governor or other executive action. This withdrawal is subject to the notice and temporary recognition requirements outlined in the compact's Article 13(B). These changes aim to provide clarity on Texas's participation in the cosmetology licensure compact and the conditions under which the state may withdraw from it.
