The purpose of this bill is to establish the Interstate Cosmetology Licensure Compact, create the Interstate Cosmetology Licensure Compact Commission, and provide for the administration of the Compact.

HB 2941 establishes the Interstate Cosmetology Licensure Compact to allow cosmetologists licensed in one member state to practice in other participating states without obtaining separate licenses. It directly affects cosmetologists, particularly military members and their spouses who relocate frequently, by reducing licensing barriers. The bill creates a Commission to manage the compact, standardize requirements (like background checks), and handle disputes or license restrictions across states. Key provisions include uniform multistate licensing, shared data on license status, and protections for public safety through coordinated oversight. This framework aims to improve workforce mobility while ensuring consistent service standards without changing individual state licensing rules.
