Learn why this is important <br />Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. <br />Dear Mayor & City Council Members, <br />I saw that there is a Proposed Ordinance to Amend Chapter 309 and I must say I have many issues <br />with this. <br />1. There is already a State Law governing Massage Therapy Practitioners in MN. Please see MN <br />146a: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/146a <br />1. The city ordinance conflicts with State Law in licensing Massage <br />Therapist: https://www.house.mn.gov/hrd/pubs/ss/ssprempll.pdf <br />2. The City Ordinance offers LESS consumer protections than currently under State Law: <br />1. Example: Clients MUST be given a Client Bill of Rights BEFORE treatment (example: <br />https://www.psinergyhealth.com/wp-content/uploads/Client-Bill-of-Rights- <br />20201227.pdf). The Client Bill of Rights includes many things including a list of <br />education and training of the practitioner. The City Ordinance does not do this and <br />assumes all practitioners have the same level of education and training. This is very <br />bad for consumers as some practitioners have only done the "base" level of training, <br />while others have taken hundreds of hours of advance training. This gives a false <br />sense of actual skill of the practitioner. <br />3. Brief History of 146a and overview of its <br /> <br />
