FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. CSHB 110(L&C)
2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
HB 110 provides authority for the Board of Massage Therapy to establish a license for massage therapy establishments
and to develop regulations for licensing requirements. Regulating massage therapy establishments is intended to facilitate
protection of the public from businesses that engage in prostitution, sex trafficking, and the employment of unlicensed
persons performing massagetherapy type activities.
This bill also amends the qualifications for initial licensure as a massage therapist to increase the required hours of
supervised instruction and clinical work and reduce the number of hours required in safety education covering blood
borne pathogens and universal precautions.
This bill allows the board to issue an exemption from licensure in response to an application from a person who provides
proof their work falls into specific, limited categories.
The bill changes the requirement of fingerprinting and background check from every renewal to only once every six years.
The bill removes the prohibition against a former member of another licensing board serving as the public member of the
Board of Massage Therapy.
If the bill passes the following expenses will be incurred:
Travel: $4.6 (two trips per year to conduct onsite investigative inspections in out years)
Services: $10.8 (costs to amend regulations including legal, printing and postage in the first year)
The potential number of establishments affected by this bill is unknown at this time. Future costs for legal and hearing
service expenses in out years are unknown.
Professional licensing programs within the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing are funded
by Receipt Supported Services, fund source 1156 Rcpt Svcs (DGF). Licensing fees for each occupation are set per AS
08.01.065 so the total amount of revenue collected approximately equals the occupations actual regulatory costs.
