R E S O L U T I O N

BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the State of

Texas, 89th Legislature, 2025, That House Rule 13, Section 9(a), be

suspended in part as provided by House Rule 13, Section 9(f), to

enable the conference committee appointed to resolve the

differences on House Bill 705 (the Cosmetology Licensure Compact;

authorizing fees) to consider and take action on the following

matters:

(1) House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(4), is suspended to permit

the committee to add text on a matter not included in either the

house or senate version of the bill in proposed SECTION 1 of the

bill, in added Section 1604.001, Occupations Code, by adding

Subsection E to Article 15 to read as follows:

E.

If the Commission determines under Article 8(c)(24) that

any language in this chapter is materially different from the

Compact model legislation, this State will not be considered a

Member State of the Compact and any provisions purporting to enact

or implement this Compact shall be null, void, and of no effect.

Explanation: The change is necessary to clarify that this

state will not be part of the cosmetology licensure compact if the

cosmetology licensure compact commission determines that the

language of Chapter 1604, Occupations Code, is materially different

from the compact model legislation and that provisions enacting or

implementing the compact in this state will be null, void, and of no

effect.

(2) House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(4), is suspended to permit

the committee to add text on a matter not included in either the

house or senate version of the bill in proposed SECTION 1 of the

bill by adding Section 1604.003, Occupations Code, to read as

the compact under this chapter at any time on the issuance of a

proclamation by the governor or other executive action rescinding

this state's consent to the compact, subject to the notice and

temporary recognition requirements under Article 13(B) of the

compact.

Explanation: The change is necessary to clarify that this

state may withdraw from the compact at any time on the issuance of a

proclamation by the governor or other executive action, subject to

notice and temporary recognition provisions of the compact.
