    The following letter was submitted by the chapter president Mary White to The Joint Committee on the Judiciary in support of a human trafficking bill being presented to the committee on May 18, 2011. Download the letter here.

  • AMTA-MA’s Position on Two Filed Legislative Matters Directly Impacting the Massage Therapy Law

    Published Friday, April 29, 2011

    As the Massachusetts Legislature has begun the 2011-2012 legislative session, the Massachusetts Chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association has reviewed the over 5,800 filed legislative matters.  Of these matters, there are a variety of measures that, if enacted, would impact our industry, generally, and our roles as massage therapists, specifically.  Some of the measures, such as the Governor’s proposed health care cost containment legislation, would have widespread implications across the health care spectrum.  Other filed matters may only impact the massage therapy industry alone.
