Summary

**What it does:** This bill would allow Pennsylvania to join the Cosmetology Licensure Compact, a multi-state agreement that lets licensed cosmetologists practice their profession across state lines. **Who it affects:** - Licensed cosmetologists, hair stylists, nail technicians, estheticians, and other beauty professionals - Beauty salons and spas that employ these professionals - Consumers who receive beauty services **What would change:** Currently, beauty professionals licensed in Pennsylvania can only legally work in Pennsylvania.

If this bill passes and Pennsylvania joins the compact, these professionals could work in other compact member states without getting separate licenses in each state. Similarly, beauty professionals from other compact states could work in Pennsylvania. This would make it easier for professionals to move between states, work temporarily in other locations, or serve clients across state borders. The bill has been introduced but not yet passed into law.
