 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to requiring a licensed
 massage therapist to present a state issued photo identification card
 when requested at the time of performing services

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 7802 of the education law, as amended by chapter
 2 230 of the laws of 1997, is amended to read as follows:
 3 § 7802. Practice of massage therapy and use of title "masseur",
 4 "masseuse" or "massage therapist" or the term "massage" or "massage
 5 therapy". Only a person licensed or authorized pursuant to this chapter
 6 shall practice massage therapy and only a person licensed under this
 7 article shall use the title "masseur", "masseuse" or "massage thera-
 8 pist". No person, firm, partnership or corporation claiming to be
 9 engaged in the practice of massage or massage therapy shall in any
 10 manner describe, advertise, or place any advertisement for services as
 11 defined in section seventy-eight hundred one of this article unless such
 12 services are performed by a person licensed or authorized pursuant to
 13 this chapter. A person licensed and registered to practice massage
 14 therapy under this article shall obtain a professional photo identifica-
 15 tion card issued by the department. Upon request, a person licensed and
 16 registered to practice massage therapy under this article shall present
 17 such card at the time and place where such licensee is providing
 18 services.
 19 § 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day
 20 after it shall have become a law; provided, however, that within one
 21 year of the effective date of this act, all persons licensed and regis-
 22 tered to practice massage therapy under title eight of the education law
 23 shall be in compliance with the provisions of this act.

 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
