AB 1 147 Assembly Bill-Bill Analysis Page 31 of 35 the premises. According to the Authors, however, this may not be entirely true. Since the local authority for operating establishments has now been placed under the cities and county's jurisdiction there appears to be nothing that would prevent the city or county from placing specific requirements on the owner or operator of an establishment regarding its employees or independent contractors working on the premises. The only requirement under CAMTC for operators will be some education and training to receive certification from CAMTC. If for any reason a city or county found that an operator was not complying with its requirements the certification could be revoked. Again, there would be no specific requirements placed on the owner since this would be entirely under the city or county's jurisdiction. Massage California has a "Support if Amended" position on the bill and indicates that if CAMTC is to continue that they have several strong recommendations for amendments which include the following: Replace the current CAMTC and its CEO. All policies by CAMTC should be reviewed. All schools that have been "un-approved" should be re-evaluated and left to the Bureau of Private Postsecondary. Unprofessional Conduct should be clearly defined. Due process requirements for CAMTC need to be clarified. Hours of operation for establishments should be within reason. Question the need for "registering" establishments Should require immediate reporting by CAMTC. Associated Bodywork S Massage Professionals has a "Support if Amended" position on the bill and indicates that they have several major concerns which include the following: Board composition; Clarification on the purpose of the "operator" certification; Clarification on how the legislature expects CAMTC to approve schools; Clarification on the "sole provider" status; Concerns with the requested feasibility study in that it may not be objective and that CAMTC will have a self-interest in perpetuating it's role; Setting the fee ceiling at $300; a cap of $175 pertaining AB 1147 Page 42 to individual certifications would be more balanced. 1.Technical and Clarifying Authors Amendments.

Because of certain drafting errors on the part of Legislative Counsel, or changes that were unintended by the Authors, these amendments are necessary to properly implement the Massage Therapy Act and to assure the continued support of the League, cities and counties.
