Section 11 of RA 5527 covers which topic?

• A. Functions and Duties of the Board
• B. Removal of Board Members
• C. Accreditation of MT Schools and of Training Laboratories
• D. Inhibition Against the Practice of MT

Answer: (A)

Section 11 outlines the functions and duties of the Board of Massage Therapy. This part of the law defines what the Board is empowered and obligated to do to regulate the profession—supervising practice, setting licensure requirements, issuing and renewing licenses, enforcing standards for education and practice, conducting inspections, and disciplining licensees for violations. That regulatory scope is what makes it the best answer: it directly describes the Board’s authority and responsibilities that oversee the entire profession to protect public health and welfare. The other topics are regulated in different parts of the act. Removal of Board Members would be addressed in sections dealing with board composition or removal procedures, accreditation of MT Schools and Training Laboratories in sections about educational standards and accreditation, and inhibition against the practice of MT pertains to illegal practice provisions and penalties rather than the Board’s regulatory duties.
