Interstate compact, massage therapy

SB 37 would allow Alabama to join the Interstate Massage Compact, creating a system where licensed massage therapists from participating states can practice in Alabama without obtaining separate licenses. The compact standardizes licensing requirements across member states and requires sharing of disciplinary information to protect public safety. It specifically includes provisions to support military members and their spouses who relocate between states. This bill directly affects massage therapists seeking multi-state practice and the public receiving these services.
