Relating to licensing reciprocity agreements entered into by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

HB 11 requires the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) to actively pursue licensing reciprocity agreements with other states. It directs TDLR to evaluate whether other states' licensing requirements - such as training, testing, scope of practice, and complaint procedures - are "substantially equivalent" to Texas standards, and to identify legal barriers preventing reciprocity. TDLR must report annually to the governor and legislature on its progress, including a list of existing agreements, failed attempts, and recommendations to expand reciprocity. This bill primarily affects licensed professionals (like nurses, contractors, or cosmetologists) who move between Texas and other states, making it easier to practice without retaking exams or meeting redundant requirements.
