SB 1615 by Zaffirini: Removing Barriers to Work

PRO-TAXPAYER POSITION
Support
Senate Journal Page: 1296

SB 1615 seeks to allow for an interstate compact for licensed cosmetologists. This ultimately makes it easier for cosmetologists to work in Texas. Although the best solution would be to repeal the occupational license altogether, this moves the ball in the right direction by lowering regulations and barriers to entry. For these reasons, TFR supports SB 1615.
