Write to Assemblymember Swanson, authtor of AB 1822, to share with him why you feel State Certification is important to our profession and needs to be protected not torn apart. Decades of law enforcement supervision of massage licensing has not removed the unsavory elements who work with or without a license. We have only had State Certification less than a year and it is supposed to be a 7 year experiment. Let the experiment play out to see if encouraging professionalism does more than police surveilance.<br />

Don't blame Sandre Swanson, I am sure he thought it was a good idea. His record shows how concerned he is with human trafficing. But that should not be confused with the need to recognize Massage as a Healthcare profession. Tell him why the bill is a bad idea.<br />

The bill is being rushed through as an emergency action. "SEC. 12. This act is an<br />
urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the<br />
public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of<br />
the Constitution and shall go into immediate effect. The facts<br />
constituting the necessity are:<br />
In order to ensure the public health and safety with regard to the<br />
practice of massage, it is necessary that this act take effect<br />
immediately." This is in the current version.<br />
