Texas SB1905 creates a Cosmetology Licensure Compact to facilitate interstate practice and regulation.

Texas SB1905 establishes the Cosmetology Licensure Compact, a regulatory framework for multistate licensure of cosmetologists. The Compact aims to improve public access to cosmetology services and reduce licensure burdens. Member States must license and regulate cosmetology, and require competency exams for licensure. The Compact Commission, created by the Member States, has rulemaking authority and enforces the Compact. Cosmetologists holding a Single-State License in a Member State can apply for a Multistate License, recognized in all Member States.
