House Bill 2499, a legislative proposal to license massage therapists, was signed into law.
The law will allow existing practitioners to qualify for a license without obtaining additional education or taking an exam. To qualify for a license under the grandfathering provision an applicant will be required to demonstrate they have actively practiced massage therapy and meet ONE of the following requirements:
To qualify for licensure after the grandfathering provision expires, an applicant must have completed a minimum 600 hour massage therapy program and pass an exam approved or administered by the board. Professions exempt from massage therapy licensure would include energy work, movement education, and reflexology. There is no action to take at this time. It can take up to a year for the board to be appointed and an application process to be put in place. |
