Filed as: South Dakota Board of Massage Therapy
South Dakota massage therapy schools must now apply to the board for recognition rather than being listed in rule. In-state recognized facilities must reapply every three years, and instructors must either hold a South Dakota massage license in good standing or demonstrate competence through 2,000 hours of professional experience, relevant degrees, or cosmetology instructor licensing.

The proposed rules will remove from rule the list of recognized facilities to offer massage education and instead require posting to the board website, clarify the acceptance of out-of-state education, state that in-state schools must apply to be a recognized facility, add criteria for the application process, and develop criteria for who is eligible to teach massage therapy.
