AN ACT ADOPTING THE INTERSTATE MASSAGE COMPACT.

SB 1063 adopts the Interstate Massage Compact, allowing licensed massage therapists from this state to practice in other participating states without obtaining additional licenses. This directly affects massage therapists seeking multi-state work opportunities and improves access to licensed massage therapy services for residents in participating states. The key mechanism simplifies cross-state practice by requiring participating states to recognize each other’s licensing standards. The bill amends Chapter 384a of the general statutes to implement this agreement.
