The Current Law Pertaining To Massage Therapists:
(from the CAMTC website)

The California Legislature’s enactment of Senate Bill 731 (California Business and Professions Code Section 4600 et seq.) initiated massage regulation for California Statewide Voluntary Massage Certification, thereby allowing certified massage professionals to work in multiple California locations without the need for multiple permits and fees. This California law has also established criteria for the Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) and Certified Massage Practitioner (CMP) professional titles. Massage therapists currently using “Certified” in their title can obtain certification through CAMTC and maintain that title, or maintain their local permit(s) and delete the term “Certified” in their professional title. Initially there will be some certification provisions for special circumstances such as “grandfathering” long-time practitioners and applicants with out-of-state education.

Conditional Certification for Massage Practitioner
Currently, you may apply for a Conditional Certificate with more than 100hrs. but less than 250hrs.-from a single approved school - click here to learn more from CAMTC’s website.

UPDATE:  (from the CAMTC website.)
As of January 2, 2012, all new applicants will need a minimum of 250 hours of massage education at a single approved school to be considered for CAMTC certification. However if you are currently a CCMP certificate holder, your recertification application for the CCMP certificate will continue to be accepted only with your on-time annual submissions to CAMTC of the additional education requirements. If you allow your CCMP certification to lapse for some reason, then your only options may be to acquire additional hours of education as needed, or pass an approved exam and apply for CMT certification.
