California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 2 — Healing Arts, Chapter 10.5 — Massage Therapy Act, Section 4604.2

(a) A person who was issued a conditional certificate to practice as a massage practitioner shall, within five years of being issued the conditional certificate by the council, complete and report to the council the completion of, at least 30 hours of additional education per year from approved schools or from continuing education providers approved by the council, until he or she has completed a total of at least 250 hours of education.

(b) A conditional certificate issued to any person pursuant to this section shall immediately be nullified, without need for further action by the council, if proof of completion of the requirements specified in subdivision (a) is not filed with the council within the time period specified in subdivision (a).

(c) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 4604.1, the council shall issue a new certificate to practice as a massage practitioner to a person that successfully completes the requirements described in subdivision (a).

Notes

Requires a conditional massage practitioner certificate holder, within five years after issuance, to complete and report at least 30 hours of additional approved education each year until reaching at least 250 total hours. Failure to file timely proof automatically nullifies the conditional certificate; despite the bar on new applications, the council must issue a new certificate after successful completion.
