The Louisiana Legislature has approved a bill making changes to how the Board of Massage Therapy handles applications and complaints. The board will now be required to send applicants' fingerprints to the FBI and state law enforcement for a check of criminal history. The board will also be required to place priority on any complaints dealing with unlicensed practice in an attempt to more effectively identify cases of human trafficking. The board will need to proactively check news stories for potential illegal activity and offer training to employees on how to identify human trafficking.
