An individual or establishment that voluntarily surrenders a license may not practice as a massage therapist or operate as a massage therapy establishment or sole practitioner establishment until the board reinstates the license. An individual or an establishment practicing as a massage therapist or operating as a massage therapy establishment or sole practitioner establishment during the period of voluntary license surrender is deemed an unlicensed practitioner or establishment and is subject to the applicable penalties.\n(B) Surrendering a license must not be considered an admission of guilt in a proceeding held pursuant to this chapter. However, surrendering a license does not preclude the board from imposing conditions on the acceptance of the proffered license or from taking disciplinary action against the licensee.","path":["Title 40 - PROFESSIONS AND OCCUPATIONS","CHAPTER 30 Massage Therapy Practice"],"source_url":"https://www.scstatehouse.gov/code/t40c030.php","current_through":"2025 Session of the General Assembly","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-02T07:21:54Z","sha256":"7b9900fd1760ae9ba3fbe29cf5865dc86a02120accfb462f8f0c2b2510eb2f1d","source_id":"us-sc","stale":false,"prev":"us-sc/s.c.-code-ann.-40-30-250","next":"us-sc/s.c.-code-ann.-40-30-270"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
