If there is core knowledge that the state deems essential, it should either
be stipulated as outcomes or left to the regulatory agency to stipulate. This
could be phrased like, "The regulatory agency may stipulate inclusion of
specific training outcomes based on evidence of significant public benefit". That
provides for better flexibility and leaves specific implementation up to those
teaching. Examples of outcome specifications.

As I have been reflecting on my practice and clients and determining where I
am going next, I remembered one of my favorite client compliments, "You give
me something for my money." In his case, it was an improved golf game.
One does not need a law (when I was in Sacramento opposing the last failed
Amta effort, there were Personal Trainers trying to get a law passed governing
that trade) of any sort for measuring the outcome of a personal service. When
a client is pleased with results, they return. It is not up to the state to
determine for an employer how much of anything is needed when not harmful to
the public.
(2) Handle the governance of touch in the same manner driving is governed. I
hold a Class C license in CA. That license is portable damned near
worldwide. Most countries and as far as I know no states that even require a test,
merely the surrender of the license when changing locale.
I did not go to driving school until I learned how much I would save on
insurance. After 41 years of driving, beside myself, I have hurt only ONE other
person. That person was at fault. Property damage is another matter.
I am a Class C driver. I do not drive a motorcycle. (I hit a wall and damned
near self-neutered when I tried and have only been on one ride since that
time.) I am sure it is easily accessible to find out the different CA categories
and what it takes to acquire those licenses. No big rigs for me.
Mandate by law those in already licensed healthcare professions may hire ONLY
those holding a Class B or Class A license, depending on their facility.
When the family wants to hire someone for a one-on-one personal service, even in
the confines of a hospital, that is allowed.
Whaddya think Bev? Would the Amta-COS, the nce board or the Comta go with
that? Class B licensing would be the Massage Therapist title. MT hardly
warrants Class A.
