Urgent action needed to stop licensing bill

Although this information originated from Reiki Unified, the proposed licensing bill would affect all forms of energy work and holistic care in Massachusetts. This is the 7th time the bill’s sponsor has attempted to get this bill through committee and into a general vote. We have stopped it only through our action: emails, calls, petitions, oral testimony, etc. This is relevant to anyone in the US — what happens in one state affects all states. SO PLEASE SEE THE INFO BELOW on how to help fight this destructive bill.

If you don’t understand why it is destructive, or if you would like more info, take a look at my blog from the last time we had to deal with this threat: https://reikibostonclasses.com/2023/07/06/once-again-we-resist-a-poorly-conceived-system-of-licensure/

Dear Reiki Unified Supporters- 

URGENT – Immediate Action Needed- Massachusetts Needs our Help!The Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure is about to vote on S261 An Act Regulating Alternative Healing Therapies. If we do not take action there is a REAL posibilty Reiki will be regulated. This is serious and we must take action.


CALL TO ACTION
If letters in opposition or calls in opposition to S261 to the  Joint Committee on Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure members are not received, this bill will be voted favorably out of the Committee and sent to the Senate for a vote.  The Senate will without a doubt pass this bill, and the Governor, Maura Healy, who had filed a previous version of the licensure bill will sign it into law.  If this bill is passed in MA, it will be duplicated in other states.We must keep Reiki free.

1.  Sign the Change.org petition, Protect the Right to Practice, Teach and Access Alternative Healing Therapies in MA
2.  Email letters of opposition to the Committee Members  (Sample Letter on our Website)
3.  Call the members of the Committee to voice your opposition of S261(Phone and Talking Points on our Website) 
Together We Are Stronger!
