Summary

The bill changes Michigan law so that massage therapists must earn at least 18 hours of approved continuing education each renewal cycle, and the education must cover topics related to massage practice and human‑trafficking identification. It also directs the health department to create rules for training all health‑profession licensees on spotting trafficking victims. The changes only take effect if a companion bill (HB 5947 or a matching Senate bill) is passed.
