What’s in it
This bill removes the licensure requirement to practice massage therapy in Iowa. The bill permits a person to practice massage therapy and to use words and titles representing that the person practices massage therapy without obtaining a license. The bill continues the option of obtaining a license to practice massage therapy, but does not require it. A person who uses the title “licensed massage therapist” without a license is guilty of a simple misdemeanor. A simple misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than 30 days or a fine of at least $65 but not more than $625 or by both.
