This bill amends the Massage Therapy Practice Act to require that all licenses issued to practice 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 licensing regulations.

The bill specifies that the board will continue to issue licenses to individuals who meet existing criteria, such as age and educational requirements, but now mandates the inclusion of a photo on the license. The effective date for this provision is set for July 1, 2025.
