In 2018, the Board developed rules to implement licensing of establishments.  The rules were approved by the Rules Review Commission at its September and October 2018 meetings.  Due to receiving 10 or more letters of objections to the proposed rules, the rules were required to be reported to the NC Legislature in 2019 for review.  The Legislature adjourned on November 15, 2019 without disapproving any of the Board’s proposed rules and the rules regarding licensure of establishments were effective that day.  You can review the rules by going to the Practice Act and Rules tab on the Board’s website www.bmbt.org. 

The Board will be working on collecting information and identifying all establishments in North Carolina that offer massage or massage and bodywork therapy services to make sure they apply to become licensed by the Board.  PLEASE REVIEW AND UPDATE YOUR EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION BY GOING TO THE ‘UPDATE YOUR RECORD’ PAGE ON THE BOARD’S WEBSITE.  Below is the link to that page:
