✨ND LMTs✨

I wanted to give an update on the possible Board merge.

The Governor's Boards and Commission Task Force met yesterday (April 14th) and has recommended that there will be NO changes to the North Dakota State Board of Massage Therapy.
This information is from legal counsel.
🥳

I did want to share the agenda for the April 21st meeting

The Interstate Compact License will be open for further discussion and if you're not familiar with this, this is the meeting to attend! Patty from FSMTB will be present for questions etc. If this is something the NDBMT adapts, it will introduced to legislation in 2027.

✨ ND LMTs ✨

There have been some rumblings amongst LMTs in ND about the potential of our State Board being merged with another Board.

This is true.

This was a topic of discussion at the North Dakota State Board meeting in February of 2026. The process was briefly explained by William Woodworth, legal counsel.

I attended the February meeting when this was originally brought up, at that time there wasn't a specific Board mentioned that the Board of Massage could possibly be merging with.
*Rumor* is now that we may merge with the Board of Chiropractic. I missed the March meeting so I don't know if that was mentioned then..🤷🏼‍♀️

But I was under the impression that this was in the beginning stages and I'm hoping that we'll have an update during the State Board meeting on April 21st!

(The topic of raising our licensing fees was brought up in February too, heads up)

If you're interested in attending a meeting, any information you need is on their website (granted it needs an overhaul🤦🏼‍♀️).

Keep in mind, anyone can attend any of these meetings because they offer them virtually! The Zoom link is on the website.
They are typically the third Friday of every month at 9:30 (sometimes they have to move the meeting to get as many of the members to attend as possible).

✨This month's meeting is Tuesday, April 21st at 9:30am✨

Come join me, I'll be taking my notes! 🤓

If you can't attend but are curious about what's going on, let me know and I can send you my notes:)

April is Stress Awareness month!
