Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 37:3556(F), relative to the licensure of massage therapists; to provide for a provisional license for massage therapist graduates; to require notification to a client; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to create a provisional license for graduates of Louisiana-based massage therapy schools, allowing them to practice immediately upon graduation at a registered massage therapy business for a single, non-renewable three-month period. Importantly, any facility employing a massage therapist with this provisional license must inform clients of their provisional status before providing services, and these provisionally licensed therapists can only work at locations that also employ fully licensed massage therapists.
