Vermont H0623 proposes to replace the registration regime for massage therapists with a licensure regime.

Vermont H0623 proposes to repeal the existing registration regime for massage therapists, bodyworkers, and touch professionals, replacing it with a licensure regime for only massage therapists. The bill also mandates the licensing of massage therapy establishments. To obtain a license, applicants must complete an accredited education program, pass an examination, and provide proof of professional liability insurance. The Director of the Office of Professional Regulation will oversee the licensing process, including issuing licenses, conducting inspections, and handling disciplinary matters.
