	51	+	cosmetologist is authorized to practice cosmetology in the applicant's
	52	+	home state, as well as in each state that is a member of the compact, as
	53	+	though the cosmetologist held a single-state license in that state. The
	54	+	cosmetologist must comply with the rules of the licensing authority and
	55	+	the scope of practice laws of the state in which the cosmetologist provides
	56	+	services. If the cosmetologist moves to a new home state, the
	57	+	cosmetologist must apply to the new home state for reissuance of a
	58	+	multistate license.
	59	+	Under the compact, active military members and their spouses may
	60	+	designate a home state where the individual is currently licensed in good
	61	+	standing to practice cosmetology and may retain their home state
	62	+	designation for purposes of the multistate license during any period when
	63	+	that individual or the individual's spouse is on active duty assignment.
	64	+	The compact requires a state that is a member of the compact
	65	+	(member state) to report adverse actions taken by a member state's
	66	+	licensing authority or other regulatory body, including actions taken
	67	+	against a cosmetologist's individual license or authorization to practice,
	68	+	including revocation, suspension, or any other encumbrance on a license
	69	+	affecting the ability to practice. The compact authorizes the cosmetology
	70	+	licensure compact commission (commission) to develop and maintain a
	71	+	coordinated database and reporting system to include information relating
	72	+	to a cosmetologist's multistate license and any adverse actions reported
	73	+	against a cosmetologist. The compact specifies the authority of the home
	74	+	state with respect to the multistate license issued by the home state, as
	75	+	well as the authority of a remote state.
	76	+	The compact creates the administrative structure for the compact,
	77	+	including granting the powers necessary to establish and operate the
	78	+	commission, which includes one delegate from each member state that is
	79	+	the administrator of the state licensing authority in the member state or
	80	+	the administrator's designee. Among other powers, the commission may
	81	+	adopt rules and bylaws, establish an executive committee, hire employees,
	82	+	and establish an office. The compact includes provisions relating to the
	83	+	conduct of the commission's meetings and its rule-making authority.
	84	+	To pay the costs associated with the compact, the compact
	85	+	authorizes the commission to levy and collect an annual assessment from
	86	+	each member state and to impose fees on licensees of a member state for
	87	+	granting and renewing a multistate license.
	88	+	The compact includes provisions governing disputes among
	89	+	member states and between the commission and a member state,
	90	+	enforcement provisions, and withdrawal of member states from the
	91	+	compact.
	92	+	The compact is effective for member states once the seventh state
	93	+	has adopted the compact.
