by the Governor and chaptered into California law on September 27th,
2008. For more information, click on their website.
Exams Required:
Freedom of Access*
Currently there are
no state requirements and regulations in effect in the state you have
selected. However, this does NOT necessarily imply that there are no laws
in effect at all. * This state has "health freedom" laws. Supporters of these types of laws often refer to it as freedom of access for consumers because the laws basically state that there are no qualifications to practice any sort of alternative healthcare as long as you disclose to your client a statement of your credentials and a "client bill of rights." Without a separate massage therapy licensing law, massage is lumped in with the other alternative practices. |
