House Bill 300 as introduced would allow the Alabama Board of Massage Therapy to join the
Interstate Massage Compact. The provisions of this bill: (1) would increase the financial
obligations of the Board by an undetermined amount dependent on the amount of the annual
assessment fee levied by the Interstate Massage Compact Commission on each member state to
cover the costs of its operations, activities, staff, and annual budget as authorized in the
compact; (2) could decrease the amount of license fees currently collected from licensed
massage therapists with out-of-state residences who decide to become licensed in their home
state and practice in Alabama under the compact privilege by an estimated $13,000 annually;
and (3) would increase receipts to the Board from fees imposed for the multistate license by an
undetermined amount dependent upon the number of licenses issued and the fee amounts set by
the Board.
Further, this bill would increase the administrative obligations of the Board to submit
information to the commission's licensure database as provided for by the provisions of this bill.
