OK SB1969

Oklahoma would join the Interstate Massage Compact, allowing licensed massage therapists to practice across all member states through a multistate license once seven states enact the compact

Multistate license applicants must complete at least 625 hours of massage therapy education (or equivalent experience), pass a national examination such as the Massage and Bodywork Licensure Examination, and submit to a background check

Applicants are disqualified from multistate licensure if convicted of felonies within 5 years, massage-related misdemeanors within 2 years, or any offense related to kidnapping, human trafficking, human smuggling, or sexual crimes at any time

Creates the Interstate Massage Compact Commission with one delegate per member state to administer the compact, maintain a shared database of licensee information and disciplinary actions, and promulgate binding rules

Active military members and their spouses may designate any member state where they hold a license in good standing as their home state during active-duty assignments, with reduced experience requirements for multistate licensure
