Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Massage Licensing Act. Requires that Social Security numbers be on all applications for original, renewed, reinstated, or restored licenses. Permits applicants license as massage therapist in another state or territory to be license by endorsement if the requirements for licensure in the state or territory in which the applicant was licensed were, at the time of licensure, substantially equivalent to the requirements in force in this State on that date. Requires every holder of a massage license to display it or a copy of the license in a conspicuous place in the holder's principal office or other location where the holder renders massage therapy services. Allows the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to take action, including imposing fines not to exceed $10,000 per violation, if the individual meets the requirements for grounds for disciplinary action. Permits the Department to disclose information and documents related to an examination or investigation of a licensee or applicant only to law enforcement officials, other regulatory agencies that have an appropriate regulatory interest as determined by the Secretary, or a party presenting a lawful subpoena to the Department. Provides that any formal complaint against a licensee filed with the Department or an order issued by the Department against a licensee or applicant shall be a public record. Makes other changes. Amends the Regulatory Sunset Act to extend the Massage Licensing Act from January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2022. Effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Changes a provision regarding the requirements of an applicant applying for a massage therapy license. Removes language providing that the Department shall issue a license if the applicant for licensure has moved to Illinois from a jurisdiction with no licensure requirement and has provided documentation that he or she has successfully passed a massage therapist certifying examination.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Reduces the minimum requirement that a massage therapy applicant shall have to successfully complete a massage therapy program to 600 hours (instead of 750 hours) beginning January 1, 2014 (instead of January 1, 2016). Provides that applicants who hold a current license from another jurisdiction shall have completed a massage therapy program of at least 500 hours.
