Missouri Has Pending IMpact Legislation — HB 3262 & SB 1673 Need Your Voice

Missouri is actively considering legislation to join the Interstate Massage Compact (IMpact).

HB 3262 & SB 1673 have been introduced in the Missouri General Assembly using the original, uniform IMpact model language — the same statutory framework already enacted in five states and advancing toward activation of the Interstate Commission.

This is a live legislative opportunity.
Missouri’s participation depends on engagement now.

Why This Matters for Missouri

If enacted, HB 3262 & SB 1673 will allow Missouri to:

• Join a coordinated, national licensure framework
• Increase workforce mobility without lowering standards
• Strengthen public protection through shared information and regulatory accountability
• Reduce unnecessary licensure barriers for qualified professionals
• Expand access to massage therapy services for employers, military families, and consumers

Compacts only function when states adopt the same model language. Missouri’s participation using the original IMpact framework ensures true multistate portability and full commission participation.

Missouri Professionals — This Is the Moment

HB 3262 & SB 1673 are currently under consideration. Legislative sessions move quickly, and bills without visible stakeholder engagement often stall.

Lawmakers need to hear directly from:

• Licensed massage therapists
• Employers and spa owners
• Educators
• Consumers and community leaders

Your voice can help move this forward.
