There are a lot of good resources on the web as well as books that will help you study. The book I recommend is The Review for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork Certification, 2nd edition, by Joseph Ashton and Duke Cassel, ISBN-13: 9781582555638. You can order it from Barnes and Noble or Amazon.
If you want to study online, there are many websites, both free and subscription, that have practice quizzes for you to use. My favorite is listed below as a related link.
Good luck!
Infringements with the law are considered on an individual basis and the best way to find out is to contact the school where you plan on getting your training or the local or state governing agency responsible for massage therapy licensing. This, in most instances, will be the state licensing board for massage therapy.
It depends on your local licensing laws. In most states that govern massage licensing you could have a misdemeanor and still get your massage license with no problem. It is at the felony level that it becomes and issue.

The best way to start is to get at least 500 hours of training and education at an American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) approved school. Then obtain a license to practice massage therapy in your area. In most places in the US, this requires a certification exam. The ones used most often are the NCETMB given by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) and the MBLEx given by the Federation of Massage Therapy Boards.
