Adopting the interstate massage compact

This bill adopts the Interstate Massage Compact into Montana law, creating a multistate licensing system for massage therapists that allows them to practice across participating states with a single license. The compact establishes an interstate commission to oversee the program and requires criminal background checks for applicants, while enabling states to share disciplinary and investigative information to protect public safety. It aims to increase mobility for licensed therapists, particularly military members and their spouses, while maintaining each state's authority to enforce its own massage therapy regulations and hold licensees accountable regardless of where they hold their multistate license.
