Senate Bill 483 amends the Occupations Code to revise the criminal history criteria that makes a person ineligible for a license as a massage establishment, massage school, massage therapist, or massage therapy instructor. The bill gives the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation (TCLR) or the executive director of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation discretion in deciding whether to suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew a massage‑related license or reprimand the license holder based on certain conduct or violations related to the license. The bill additionally authorizes TCLR or the executive director to impose an administrative penalty on a license holder for any such conduct.
