HB1247

South Dakota massage therapists must now include their license number in any advertisements for their services, and violating this requirement is a Class 1 misdemeanor. The bill also clarifies that unlicensed massage practice, operating a business that knowingly employs unlicensed practitioners, and falsely using massage therapy titles are all Class 1 misdemeanors, and changes massage therapy licenses to expire two years after issuance instead of automatically expiring on September 30th following issuance.
