This legislative bill from Minnesota establishes licensure for individuals practicing massage therapy and Asian bodywork therapy. It sets out specific definitions, education and training requirements, and the roles of a newly formed advisory council. The bill also determines fees, conducts criminal background checks for licensure, and introduces penalties for those practicing without a license. Additionally, it delegates the tasks of issuing licenses, setting practice standards, and enforcing regulations to the Commissioner of Health, guided by the advisory council's recommendations. The goal is to regulate the professions, ensuring practitioners are qualified and adhere to ethical standards, ultimately protecting public health and safety.
