North Dakota SB 2085, discussed in our previous legislative update, was signed into law on April 8, 2015.
02/13/2015
Two bills have recently been introduced in North Dakota that could impact licensed massage therapists in the state. North Dakota SB 2085 proposes to reduce the number of continuing education hours required for massage therapists in North Dakota from 32 to 24, every two years. However, the bill would also reduce the number of CE hours that can be earned remotely from 12 to nine, and would require that four of the 24 CE hours be in ethics.
