Bill > HB5087

This bill establishes the Interstate Cosmetology Licensure Compact, which allows licensed cosmetologists to practice in multiple member states under a single multistate license, aiming to improve public access to services and reduce licensing burdens. It also creates the Cosmetology Licensure Compact Commission, a joint government agency composed of delegates from each member state, responsible for administering the compact, developing rules, and maintaining a data system for tracking licensees and disciplinary actions. The bill outlines requirements for member states to join and maintain their membership, details the process for obtaining and maintaining a multistate license, and specifies the powers and responsibilities of both the Commission and individual state licensing authorities regarding investigations, adverse actions, and dispute resolution. It also addresses specific provisions for active military members and their spouses, and establishes procedures for rulemaking, oversight, and enforcement of the compact.
