New Idaho Law Allowing Tuition Work-Off Programs

04/01/2016

Idaho HB 519 has become law.  The new law allows Idaho massage therapy schools to create tuition work-off programs whereby students can obtain tuition credit for performing massage in the school’s clinical program.  Schools may choose to create such a tuition work-off program but they are not required to do so.  The bill requires that the program must be part of a clinical requirement or supervised massage therapy fieldwork experience for graduation, the student’s work must be performed under the supervision of a licensee, and the student cannot hold himself or herself out as a licensed massage therapist.  The law also allows the Idaho Massage Board to establish requirements for a temporary massage license and provisional permit.
