Bill > HB2760

This bill enacts the Esthetics Licensure Compact, a framework designed to allow licensed estheticians to practice in multiple states more easily, thereby improving public access to services and ensuring safety. The compact establishes a commission composed of member states to oversee this process, creating a multistate licensing program. Key provisions include defining terms like "esthetician" (a licensed skin care professional), "multistate license" (a license allowing practice in multiple member states), and "home state" (a licensee's primary state of residence). Member states must meet certain requirements, such as licensing estheticians and having complaint investigation mechanisms, to participate. The compact outlines procedures for obtaining a multistate license, how licenses are reissued when a licensee moves to a new home state, and the responsibilities of both the home state and remote states in regulating practice and taking adverse actions (like license suspension or revocation). It also establishes the Esthetics Licensure Compact Commission, detailing its powers, rulemaking authority, and dispute resolution processes, all aimed at facilitating interstate practice while maintaining public protection.
