Licensed massage therapists.  Requires that massage therapists be licensed, rather than certified, by the Board of Nursing; includes "bodywork" in the definition of "massage therapy"; and identifies activities that do not constitute massage therapy and bodywork. 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.
