03/24/2011
As previously reported, Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP) and the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) Kansas chapter submitted a sunrise document to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). The sunrise document is an assessment and overview of the profession, focusing on whether there is a need to license massage therapists in Kansas. The KDHE Occupational Credentialing Technical Review Committee (Committee) was appointed to review the document in a series of four meetings and issued its decision today in Topeka at the final meeting.
