The bill amends the Automatic Occupational Licensure for Out-of-State Licensure Act to include massage therapists within its provisions. Specifically, it modifies Arkansas Code 17-7-106 by removing the exemption for medical professions and clarifying that the chapter applies to massage therapists licensed under the Massage Therapy Act.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing exemptions for legal professionals and individuals under reciprocity agreements, as well as for multistate or interstate compacts that would be nullified by this chapter. The inclusion of massage therapists aims to streamline the licensure process for out-of-state practitioners in this field, ensuring they can practice in Arkansas without unnecessary barriers.
