The Minnesota House Health Finance and Policy Committee heard multiple health-related bills on Feb. 23, 2026, including a contested proposal (HF362) to create statewide licensure for massage therapists that generated extensive testimony and failed on a roll-call after earlier amendment adoption. Several other bills (art therapy licensure, FQHC reimbursement changes, and removal of prior authorization for OUD meds) were laid over for further work.
