AI Summary

  • Montana would join the Cosmetology Licensure Compact, allowing licensed cosmetologists to practice across all member states through a single multistate license issued by their home state
  • The compact becomes effective when enacted by seven states and creates the Cosmetology Licensure Compact Commission to administer the agreement, with each member state having one delegate
  • Applicants for multistate licensure must hold an active, unencumbered single-state license in their home state and submit fingerprints for state and federal criminal background checks
  • Active military members and their spouses may designate any member state where they hold a license as their home state during active duty assignments
  • Member states retain authority over their own scope of practice laws, educational requirements, and single-state licensing; the compact takes precedence only where state laws conflict with compact provisions
