Suspending limitations on conference committee jurisdiction, H.B. No. 705.
This resolution suspends specific House rules to allow a conference committee to amend House Bill 705, which concerns Texas' participation in a cosmetology licensure compact. It enables two key changes: (1) clarifying that Texas would exit the compact if its laws differ materially from the model legislation, making related provisions invalid, and (2) allowing the governor to withdraw Texas from the compact via proclamation, subject to notice requirements. The bill directly affects Texas cosmetology licensing regulations and the state's relationship with the interstate compact. These changes aim to strengthen Texas' alignment with the compact's model and provide clearer exit procedures.
