Section 2. Coordinating H.B. 207 with H.B. 324 -- Substantive and technical amendments.
If this H.B. 207 and H.B. 324, Ortho-Bionomy Exemption Amendments, both pass and become
law, the Legislature intends that:
(1) this coordinating clause supersedes the coordinating clause contained in H.B. 324; and
(2) the Office of Legislative Research and General Counsel, in preparing the Utah Code database for
publication, modify Subsection 58-47b-304(1)(m) to read:
"(m) an individual:
(i) certified by or through, and in good standing with, an industry organization that is recognized
by the division, and that represents a profession with established standards and ethics:
(ii) (A) who limits the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body to the hands, feet, and outer ears
only, including the practice of reflexology and foot zone therapy; or
(B) who is certified to practice ortho-bionomy and whose practice is limited to the scope of
practice of ortho-bionomy;
(iii) whose clients remain fully clothed from the shoulders to the knees; and
(iv) whose clients do not receive gratuitous massage from the individual."
