Georgia and the Interstate Massage Compact

Georgia is actively considering participation in the Interstate Massage Compact (IMpact), a multistate licensure framework designed to support license mobility while maintaining strong public protection, consistent standards, and state regulatory authority.

Legislation to adopt the Interstate Massage Compact, HB 232, has been introduced using the original IMpact language. This is the same uniform statutory framework already enacted by five states and moving toward activation.

Why This Matters for Georgia

If enacted, HB 232 would allow Georgia to:

• Participate in a coordinated, national licensure framework
• Support workforce mobility without lowering licensure standards
• Strengthen public protection through shared information and accountability
• Reduce unnecessary licensure barriers for qualified professionals
• Expand access to massage therapy services for residents and businesses
