Introduced Text

Amends the Massage Therapy Practice Act to clarify title protection for massage therapists.

The bill amends the Massage Therapy Practice Act to ensure that only licensed massage therapists can use specific terms in advertising. It prohibits unauthorized individuals from using terms like "massage," "massage therapy," or "massage therapist" in promotional materials. The act also penalizes those who knowingly aid or employ unauthorized individuals in using these terms. This change aims to protect the professional title of licensed massage therapists.
