Insurance considerations
No operational statewide massage credential existed on the access date. Chapter 115 requires future registrants to carry at least $2,000,000 per occurrence and $6,000,000 annual aggregate; current local, employer, school, and contract requirements may differ. This does not resolve employers, establishments, leases, schools, events, contracts, or local requirements.
