SB 386 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to massage therapy. (BDR 54-891)

SB 386 updates Nevada's massage therapy licensing rules. It creates a pathway for out-of-state licensed practitioners (with at least 3 years of active practice) to obtain Nevada licenses after meeting specific requirements, including passing exams. The bill also revises the definition of reflexology to include facial pressure techniques, eliminates mandatory location requirements for board meetings, and allows temporary licenses to be renewed after 3 months (previously expired after 90 days with no renewal). These changes directly affect massage therapists, reflexologists, and structural integration practitioners seeking to practice in Nevada.
