The bill amends the Massage Therapy Practice Act to require that all licenses issued by the board for practicing massage therapy include a clear and easily visible photo of the license holder. This new requirement is intended to enhance the identification of licensed massage therapists and ensure compliance with professional standards.

The effective date for this provision is set for July 1, 2025, allowing time for the board to implement the necessary changes to the licensing process. This amendment aims to improve the integrity and accountability of the massage therapy profession in New Mexico.
