Revised late in 2012, the Nevada State Board of Massage Therapy (NSBMT) published and distributed its Citation Policy that lists the fine amounts for infractions of NRS 640C for Massage Therapists and Persons. Please note: the below list is not an all-inclusive schedule and may change upon action of the board during their regular meetings.
If you have any questions about the publication, please contact the NSBMT directly at their website or by email at nvmassagebd@state.nv.us. The Chapter wants Nevada’s NVMTs and Public to know the infractions and the cost of those – fines are not collected or used by the Board and go to State of Nevada funds.
