A bill introduced in New Jersey in late November would replace current state regulations (www.massagemag.com/newjersey).
Three areas that would change if the bill passes are: The formation of a board of massage therapy to take over from the
board of nursing; licensure of Massage Beijing therapists, instead of certification; and mandatory registration of employers of Massage Beijing therapists.
A law to regulate Massage Beijing therapists was first passed in the state in 1999.
