Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to removing references to "masseur" and "masseuse"
AI Summary
This bill amends New York's education law to remove outdated and gender-specific terms like "masseur" and "masseuse" when referring to individuals licensed to practice massage therapy. The changes aim to modernize the language used in the law, ensuring that it refers to all practitioners as "massage therapist" and that advertising and professional titles reflect this updated terminology, including the acronym "LMT" (Licensed Massage Therapist). This update is intended to create a more inclusive and contemporary legal framework for the profession.
