The bill amends the Massage Therapy Practice Act by updating the language in Section 4200.10 of the Oklahoma Statutes. It clarifies that the Act will supersede local ordinances or regulations concerning massage therapists, but it also specifies exceptions. Notably, the bill states that local regulations regarding zoning requirements and occupational license fees for health care professions will not be affected. Additionally, it introduces new provisions that ensure local regulations related to zoning and licensing for business locations offering massage therapy remain intact.

The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025. This amendment aims to provide clearer guidelines for the practice of massage therapy while allowing local governments to maintain control over specific regulatory aspects.
