I would like to help also. We need just one regulatory body, state or local, preferably state, but not both.

The bill went before the Judiciary Committee today. I will call the committee secretary tomorrow to find out it's disposition.

Hi Charles, Glad to know you are eager to help! I'll keep you posted as I find out and would appreciate any time you could offer! And no, the Georgia Board of Massage Therapy does not need to be contacted, this does not fall under their (our) responsibilities! Enjoy this beautiful day!

Hello Robb and Jane,
I am known as a pain in the ars, otherwise I would be more successful in getting things done in Georgia. But with that said, I will be happy to assist with phone calls and or writing letter to support my colleagues in any manner I can. As long as it does not include, contacting the Georgia Licensing Board!

Good Morning Robb,
SB 364 is simply a bold attempt to impact prostitution and human trafficking through our Massage Therapy Practice Act. I have been researching and communicating for the last week and hope to have a better picture today or tomorrow. Then based on the info gathered, we can create a plan!

I'm known as a veteran for the passage of the Georgia Massage Therapy Practice Act... Hello Jane and Charles!

News of SB 364 alarms me into networking now with other GA LMTs. SB 364 appears to be a mid-GA sponsored legislative effort to combat prostitution by raising penalties and granting local government control of massage businesses.

This is not the best practice for combating international slave trade which has surfaced in Macon and other areas.

I for one have no interest in seeing anything like the old Atlanta massage technician permit resurrected with a $250/yr cost with a required annual visit to a physician for a sworn statement of being free of transmittable by hand diseases.

I also suspect that this is a move by cities and counties as a means to increase their revenues.

I am hoping to see a co-ordinated effort evolve in squashing this bad piece of legislation before it spreads and takes root. I am chomping at the bits and raring to go. Let's get the conversation started here.

Hi there Georgia!
Are you enjoying your edition of the Georgia PERG (Professional Education & Resource Guide)? I am the publisher, and so far I've received some calls and e-mails from therapists who like it a lot. And calls from more Continuing Education Providers who plan to advertise in the Fall Edition, which comes out in July. If you are licensed in Georgia, you should all have received the booklet in the mail by now. Let me know what you think! You can also download a copy at www.proedresourceguide.com.

Aloha Group,
I'm looking for someone who'd like to sponsor a LomiLomi Training in Georgia. NCBTMB approved CE Hours. This isn't the typical lomilomi training that has spread across the U.S. This training takes you to the roots and truth of Temple Style Lomilomi, the cause and effect of true healing through Hawaiian values, and empowers you with knowledge and understanding. We explore the new age interpretations, traditional concepts so you can offer the world the best of both! Sponsor takes the training at no cost. Anyone interested?
