Indiana HB1386 mandates professional liability insurance for massage therapists employed by massage establishments.

Indiana HB1386 introduces a new requirement for massage establishments to ensure their employees have professional liability insurance. Specifically, it mandates that any individual providing massages at a massage establishment must hold insurance with a minimum coverage of two million dollars per claim and six million dollars in aggregate. Failure to comply with this insurance requirement will result in a Class A misdemeanor for the establishment operator. This law aims to protect both the therapists and the clients by ensuring financial coverage in case of professional liability issues.
