To my fellow Licensed Massage Therapists… please email and help spread the word so that we can REDEFINE and change the narrative, one massage at a time!
🚨🚨🚨 AMTA-IA HF 2602 Massage Establishment Licensing Bill is scheduled for a vote the HOUSE tomorrow! We need your help:
Please email your representatives (not senators) for your district
Email subject: Thursday vote YES for HF 2602 Massage Establishment Licensing
Dear Rep. (last name),
I’m a licensed massage therapist in your district and I support HF2602. Please vote YES on Thursday.
This bill helps protect the integrity of our wellness profession and the public we serve. Massage Establishment Licensing would be an important tool for both the Iowa Board of Massage Therapy and law enforcement in their efforts to shut down illicit businesses posing as massage offices, prevent criminals from opening massage establishments and employing massage therapists, and targets the traffickers behind these businesses, not individual massage therapists.
This bill does not create an extra burden for solo practitioners and will create a streamlined system statewide. Iowa has had a salon establishment license for decades, this bill makes sense.
Thank you for serving our district!
