Regulation and Licensing
House Bill 481 - Amending a Section of the Massage Therapy Practice Act
There has been a revision to our regulations concerning “inactive status” as a massage therapist. No longer will your license be placed in automatic inactive status if you have not renewed at the end of a 60-day grace period. Under the previous wording, your license would automatically expire if not reactivated in a 2 year period. Effective July 1, 2011, a LMT must submit a written request to the NM Massage Board requesting inactive status and pay an annual fee. For the full text of House Bill 481, click here.
