Relating to massage student permits.
HB 1562 requires massage school students in Texas to hold a photo ID permit displaying their name, school name, and a photograph, which must be visibly displayed at their school. This applies directly to students enrolled in licensed massage schools across Texas. The bill amends the Occupations Code to establish this requirement and directs the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation to adopt implementing rules. The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
