Welcome
Welcome! I'm your study guide, molly. I've been a licensed LMT in Maryland since 2017. I am a practicing massage therapist, business owner, and former paralegal. I've created this guide to help students of massage therapy work their way through the tedious regulations that comprise the content for the Jurisprudence (often abbreviated JP) exam for licensure.
There's no quick-fix to study for this exam - you just have to read the rules. This study guide will give you the same content that you can find online, but with a side-along, plain language translation that will help you keep your attention tuned and understand the text.
We begin with the COMAR (COde of MAryland Regulations), because this legislations gives the fullest picture of regulations governing massage therapists. The link to the official COMAR online publication appears below - but you don't need to go there now. All the content you need is contained in this guide.
Link to COMAR Title 10: Subtitle 65, Chapters 1-11
Next, we will review the Annotated Code, which gives the important details and specifics from the more general COMAR regulations.
Link to the Annotated Code of Maryland, Title 6: Subtitles 1-7
Finally, we'll take a quick overview of the most up-to-date Bills, which are proposed legislation that has not yet passed to become law. This material is unlikely to appear on the Jurisprudence exam, but may be very relevant and important for you to know about.

Just in case these links ever go out-of-date, they can always be accessed from the Maryland Board of Massage Therapy Examiners' website.
