Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend Article 1 of Chapter 24A of Title 43 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to massage therapy practice generally, so as to prohibit massage therapy businesses from operating during certain set hours; to revise definitions; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends Georgia law to prohibit massage therapy businesses from operating between 1:00 AM and 6:00 AM, starting August 1, 2026. The bill also revises definitions related to massage therapy practice, clarifying terms like "license" (a certificate to practice massage therapy), "licensee" (a person holding such a certificate), "massage therapist" (a licensed individual who administers massage for compensation), and "massage therapy business" (an entity where licensed massage therapists practice). The core change is the addition of a new rule making it unlawful for any person or entity to perform massage therapy during the specified early morning hours.
