The Interstate Massage Compact

About

The Council of State Governments (CSG) is partnering with the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards (FSMTB) to support the mobility of licensed massage therapists through the development of a new interstate compact. This additional licensing pathway will create reciprocity among participant states and reduce the barriers to license portability.

Current Status

The Interstate Massage Compact has been finalized and is available for enactment.

The following language must be enacted into law by a state to officially join the Interstate Massage Compact.

No substantive changes should be made to the model language. Any substantive changes may jeopardize the enacting state’s participation in the Compact.

The Council of State Governments National Center for Interstate Compacts reviews state compact legislation to ensure consistency with the model language.

A copy of the legislation is available below:
