Michigan Licensing Bill Signed by Governor Granholm
01/09/2009
Today, House Bill 5651, providing for the state licensing of massage therapists, was signed into law by Governor Granholm. While the law is effective immediately, it will take some time to implement. There is no action for you to take at this time. It will likely take at least 6-12 months before applications become available, ABMP will continue to keep members informed.
The law will benefit the massage therapy community in three primary ways:
- Minimum training requirements and scope of practice are defined.
- An avenue for consumer complaint is established.
