Connecticut General Statutes
Chapter 384a - Massage Therapists
Section 20-206e. - Temporary permit.

The department may, upon receipt of an application for massage therapist licensure, accompanied by the licensure application fee of three hundred seventy-five dollars, issue a temporary permit to a person who has met the requirements of subsection (a) of section 20-206b, except that the applicant has not yet sat for or received the results of the examination required under said subsection (a). Such temporary permit shall authorize the permittee to practice as a massage therapist under the supervision of a person licensed pursuant to section 20-206b. Such practice shall be limited to those settings where the licensed supervisor is physically present on the premises and is immediately available to render assistance and supervision, as needed, to the permittee. Such temporary permit shall be valid for a period not to exceed one hundred twenty calendar days after the date of completion of the required course of study in massage therapy and shall not be renewable. Such permit shall become void and shall not be reissued in the event that the permittee fails to pass the examination for licensure. No permit shall be issued to any person who has previously failed the examination for licensure prescribed pursuant to section 20-206b or who is the subject of an unresolved complaint or pending professional disciplinary action. Violation of the restrictions on practice set forth in this section may constitute a basis for denial of licensure as a massage therapist.
