MODERATE

This bill transitioned from an enrolled draft to a chaptered law, meaning it was officially approved and enacted into Virginia law. The substantive content of the Interstate Massage Compact remains unchanged, but the document now includes official chapter designation, approval date, and proper formatting for the Code of Virginia.

Scope change

The bill's scope and applicability remain unchanged; it still establishes an Interstate Massage Compact allowing licensed massage therapists to practice across multiple states with a single multistate license.

TECHNICAL

Added official chapter designation (Chapter 274) and approval date (March 21, 2025) to indicate the bill has been enacted into law.

Added proper formatting and spacing consistent with Virginia Code publication standards.

Removed draft session headers and placeholder formatting from the enrolled version.

Adjusted text formatting to match the official Code of Virginia style, including proper indentation and section numbering.
