Alabama Adopts Esthetics Licensure Compact

⚠️
PROPOSED LEGISLATIONThis bill has been introduced but has NOT been signed into law. Legislative proposals may be amended, passed, or fail to advance. This is not current law.

This proposed change by the Alabama Board of Cosmetology and Barbering would adopt the Esthetics Licensure Compact. Before this proposal, estheticians in Alabama were licensed under state-specific regulations without interstate reciprocity provisions. If adopted, the compact would allow estheticians to practice across member states with a single license, simplifying licensing for professionals who work or wish to work in multiple states. This change affects estheticians and potentially their clients by making it easier for practitioners to move between states while maintaining licensure. The effective date of this proposal is not specified.
