Summary
Creates the Asian Bodywork Therapy Licensing Act. Beginning January 1, 2012, provides that it is unlawful for a person to act or assume to act as an Asian bodywork therapist, to engage in the business of Asian bodywork therapy, or to advertise or hold himself or herself out to be a licensed Asian bodywork therapist without first obtaining a license issued by the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Creates the Asian Bodywork Therapy Licensing Board. Allows the Department to take action, including imposing fines not to exceed $1,000 per violation, if the individual meets the requirements for grounds for disciplinary action. Grants the Department authority to petition the Attorney General or local State's Attorney office where a violation occurs to enjoin the violation or order enforcement compliance with the Act. Provides that, on a showing of a possible violation, the Department may compel an applicant or a licensee to submit to a physical or mental examination. Sets forth the powers and duties of the Department, license qualifications, grounds for discipline, civil and criminal penalties, and administrative procedures. Sets forth provisions concerning standards of practice and prohibited activities. Preempts home rule. Amends the Massage Licensing Act to exempt from that Act persons licensed under the Asian Bodywork Therapy Licensing Act.
