Ohio Enacts IMPact

Ohio becomes the second state to enact the Interstate Massage Compact. Governor DeWine signed SB56 on June 21, 2024. SB56 was sponsored by Senator Kristina Roegner, and 20 additional bipartisan co-sponsors.

The Interstate Massage Compact will allow licensed massage therapists to practice in any other member state. The compact reduces barriers to multistate practice and license portability.

The compact will be active once it is enacted in seven states. For more information please email [email protected].

Interstate Massage Compact Finalized​

The Interstate Massage Compact (IMpact) project team approved the final draft of the Interstate Massage Compact legislation in January 2023.

This legislation will be distributed to the states for enactment during the 2023 legislative sessions. The Compact will go into effect once enacted into law by seven states.

The project team was composed of professionals, state regulators, and representatives of professional organizations, as well as staff from the National Center for Interstate Compacts at the Council of State Governments, which is facilitating the project.
