The current Law pertaining to Massage Therapists is such: (from the CAMTC website)
The California Legislature’s enactment of Senate Bill 731 (California Business and Professions Code Section 4600 et seq.) initiated massage regulation for California Statewide Voluntary Massage Certification, thereby allowing certified massage professionals to work in multiple California locations without the need for multiple permits and fees. This California law has also established criteria for the Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) and Certified Massage Practitioner (CMP) professional titles. Massage therapists currently using “Certified” in their title can obtain certification through CAMTC and maintain that title, or maintain their local permit(s) and delete the term “Certified” in their professional title. Initially there will be some certification provisions for special circumstances such as “grandfathering” long-time practitioners and applicants with out-of-state education.
