| SB 216 | Committee | Buckson | This Act adopts the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact (“Compact”). This Compact takes effect on the date on which this Compact is enacted into law in 7 states. As of January 2026, this Compact has been enacted in 5 states and has been filed in 6 other states.
This Compact is an interstate occupational licensure compact for respiratory therapists. There are approximately 130,000 licensed respiratory therapists in the United States. Licensees currently face significant barriers providing services across state borders, even when they meet the qualifications to practice in another state. This Compact will facilitate multistate practice by reducing unnecessary licensure burdens and improve public safety by enhancing state information sharing. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO A RESPIRATORY CARE INTERSTATE COMPACT. |
| SB 217 | Committee | Buckson | This Act adopts the Cosmetology Licensure Compact (“Compact”). The Compact is active because enough states have enacted legislation to adopt the Compact. The purpose of the Compact is to reduce the burdens on state governments and to facilitate and regulate the interstate practice of cosmetology by creating a framework for a multistate licensing program. The multistate licensing program provides increased value and mobility to licensed cosmetologists, including military members and their spouses, and ensures safe, competent, and reliable cosmetology services are provided to the public.
The Compact allows individuals residing in a state that joins the Compact (a “member state”) to apply, through the state, for a multistate license. A multistate license allows a qualifying licensee to practice cosmetology in all member states. Applicants for a multistate license must hold an unrestricted license to practice cosmetology in the applicant’s home state and must meet educational, national licensing examination, and background check requirements to qualify for a multistate license. Licensees must meet continuing competency requirements to qualify for renewal of a multistate license. Member states share information related to disciplinary actions against licensees, investigations of licensees, and anything that would disqualify a licensee from holding a multistate license so that each member state is aware if a licensee’s authority to practice is restricted or if the licensee is disqualified from practicing cosmetology. | AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 24 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO THE COSMETOLOGY LICENSURE COMPACT. |
| SB 218 | Committee | Buckson | This Act adopts the Interstate Massage Compact (“Compact”).

The multistate licensing program provides increased value and mobility to licensed massage therapists, including military members and their spouses, and ensures safe, competent, and reliable massage therapy services are provided to the public.
