You must apply, pay fees, provide no‑discipline letters, submit fingerprints for an FBI check, allow a background review, show school hours (massage 500, structural integration 700, reflexo… - Reflexology now covers face and hands: benefit, low.

It is a misdemeanor to advertise massage therapy, reflexology, or structural integration without a license. Licensed practitioners and establishment certificate holders also face a misdemeanor for false or misleading ads or for advertising an establishment without a certificate. These rules add cri… - Stronger oversight of massage establishments: cost, low. The Board must set clear rules for when it can discipline an establishment and what penalties apply, including fines or suspension or revocation. The Board and its Executive Director may issue subpoenas to get witnesses and records for investigations and hearings. The subpoena authority is effectiv… - Board can meet remotely; two laws repealed: mixed, low. The Board no longer must alternate meeting locations between north and south. It may meet by phone or video if it follows the state open‑meeting law. The law also repeals NRS 640C.590 and NRS 640C.610. The effect of those repeals depends on what those sections covered. ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Melanie Scheible (Democratic), Senate - Cosponsor: Angela D.
