Monday night, massage therapists told state senators why they should not be required to get a license.
Susan Batt has the story from Jefferson City.
Senator Morris Westfall wants massage therapists to meet certain educational and professional standards before they are allowed to practice in the state of Missouri.
Kansas City therapist Nadah Cartmill objects to having what she calls "an ancient healing art" regulated.
The Senate committee took no action on the bill, and Westfall says he will continue to work with massage therapists to create an acceptable licensing system.
From Jefferson City, I'm Susan Batt.
