The proposed bill establishes the Cosmetology Licensure Compact, which aims to facilitate the interstate practice and regulation of cosmetology, improving public access to services while enhancing safety and reducing licensure burdens. It introduces a multistate licensing program that allows licensed cosmetologists to practice across member states, ensuring compliance with safety standards. The compact outlines objectives such as interstate practice opportunities, cooperation among states, and support for military personnel. Key terms related to the compact are defined, and requirements for member states include a regulatory framework and adherence to shared data systems.

Additionally, the bill creates the Cosmetology Licensure Compact Commission, a joint agency responsible for overseeing licensing across state lines. The commission will manage a coordinated database to track licensure data and adverse actions, requiring member states to submit uniform data while maintaining confidentiality for certain information. The bill also includes provisions for rule-making, oversight, and dispute resolution, allowing member states to withdraw from the compact while ensuring licenses remain valid for a minimum of 180 days post-withdrawal. New sections added to the bill include a citation for the compact and a requirement for tracking revenues and costs associated with home state and multistate licenses separately, with the compact's provisions superseding conflicting state laws.
