Licensed massage therapists.

The bill also allows the Board of Nursing to issue a provisional license valid until July 1, 2014, to any individual who meets the current requirements for certification as a massage therapist, and requires the Board of Nursing to promulgate regulations to implement the provisions of the act with 280 days.
