The bill, H.B. No. 1562, proposes amendments to the requirements for massage student permits in Texas. Specifically, it mandates that students enrolled in massage schools must possess a permit that includes their name, the name of the school, and a photograph of the student's face. Additionally, the bill stipulates that this permit must be displayed in a reasonable manner at the school.

To facilitate the implementation of these changes, the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation is tasked with adopting the necessary rules as soon as practicable after the bill's effective date, which is set for September 1, 2025.
