Bill Summary

Alabama Board of Cosmetology and Barbering; adoption of Esthetics Licensure Compact

AI Summary

This bill enacts the Esthetics Licensure Compact, an agreement between states to standardize and streamline the licensing of estheticians, who provide skincare and cosmetic services. The compact aims to improve public access to safe esthetics services, reduce licensing barriers for estheticians, and support military members and their spouses by allowing for multistate practice and easier transfer of licenses. It establishes an Esthetics Licensure Compact Commission to oversee the agreement, which will create a data system for sharing information on licensees, including any disciplinary actions. Member states must meet certain requirements to join, and the compact outlines procedures for issuing multistate licenses, handling adverse actions, and resolving disputes, with the goal of ensuring consistent regulation and mobility for estheticians across participating states.
