Establishes the Interstate Massage Compact
SB 1673, the "Interstate Massage Compact," creates a multistate licensing system allowing licensed massage therapists to practice across participating states with one license, directly affecting therapists seeking mobility and military members/spouses relocating. It establishes an Interstate Commission to administer the compact, requires background checks, and mandates sharing of disciplinary information between states while preserving each state's authority to enforce its own laws. This system aims to increase public access to massage services, enhance safety oversight, prevent fraud, and streamline licensing for therapists practicing in multiple states.
