(a) Nothing in this compact, nor any rule of the commission, shall be construed to limit, restrict, or in any way reduce the ability of a member state to enact and enforce laws or other rules related to the practice of esthetics in that state, where those laws or other rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of this compact.
(b) Insofar as practical, a member state’s licensing authority shall cooperate with the commission and with each entity exercising independent regulatory authority over the practice of esthetics according to the provisions of this compact.
(c) Discipline shall be the sole responsibility of the state in which esthetics services are provided. Accordingly, each member state’s licensing authority shall be responsible for receiving complaints about individuals practicing esthetics in that state and for communicating all relevant investigative information about any such adverse action to the other member states through the data system in addition to any other methods the commission, by rule, may require.
