Massage establishment licenses granted pursuant to this chapter shall be conspicuously posted within the establishment.
II. In addition to licenses issued under paragraph I, the executive director may issue an establishment license to an applicant who is a natural person and does not hold a personal massage therapist license provided that the owner employs a licensed massage therapist as manager. This paragraph shall not authorize such owner to personally engage in massage therapy.
