Although there is no massage therapy license required to practice massage in Idaho at this time, the Idaho Senate has taken steps to put a Board of Massage Therapy into place. In Senate bill 1418, the proposed legislation even has a fee schedule outlined for massage licenses. It appears to have been started in 2002 with the proposed establishment of an Idaho Board of Massage Therapy and then left to die on the vine. Much of the details are included in the above document, but we could not find any more information about the activity or existence of the Idaho Board.

Assuming that Idaho has, in fact, continued with it's plans to adopt and enforce a massage licensure requirement, we can assume that they will accept the National Massage Exam (NCETMB or MBLEx) as standard proof of skills and credentials. This, along with completion of an approved massage study course, will likely be the basis from which these new licensure laws are drawn.
