Senator
(Last Name),
I am contacting you regarding SB 568 Relating to renaming, changing the membership of and eliminating certain professional licensure boards,
As a Licensed Massage Therapist, I oppose this this bill and request that you do the same.
(If you wish, you may add your comments and reasons if you wish - sample below, please personalize in your own words)
The Massage Therapy And Bodywork Therapy Affiliated Credentialing Board was established to protect consumers, clarify what a legitimate practice of massage therapy is and ensure that its application is appropriate. Under the current board, six of the seven members represent the massage therapy profession; the proposed changes would reduce that number to one, which, in my opinion would greatly reduce the ability of the board to work effectively governing the massage profession and protecting massage consumers as the board would be dominated by the interests of the Physical Therapy profession.
Respectfully,
Your Full name
