Relating to massage therapy.

HB 2446 prohibits new massage facilities from being located within 1,000 feet of public or private schools, including prekindergarten/kindergarten programs, public elementary/secondary schools, and private/parochial schools teaching children. The law applies to permits issued or facilities relocated after the bill's effective date, requiring new locations to comply with the buffer zone. Existing facilities already operating near schools before the effective date may continue unless their permit is revoked. The bill modifies licensing rules for massage facilities under Oregon law, adding this location restriction while allowing relocation through a fee-based process.
