This bill amends the Massage Therapy Law, specifically the establishment of the State Board of Massage Therapy. The amendment modifies the composition requirements for board members by removing the stipulation that they must be citizens of the United States. Instead, the focus is solely on the requirement that board members 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 individuals to serve on the board while maintaining the residency requirement. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
