This bill amends the Massage Therapy Law, specifically the establishment of the State Board of Massage Therapy. The amendment modifies the composition requirements for the board by removing the stipulation that members must be citizens of the United States. Instead, the focus is solely on the residency requirement, which mandates that board members must have been residents of Pennsylvania for at least five years prior to the effective date of the section.

The bill aims to streamline the qualifications for board membership, potentially allowing for a broader range of qualified individuals to serve on the board. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
