City seeks more authority to regulate massage businesses in FV
A new ordinance to be introduced at The City Council meeting Tuesday night will give the city of Fountain Valley one more measure to help enforce illegal activities at massage parlors in the city. According to the city, “the proposed ordinance will exercise the City’s remaining authority and require background checks on the owners and health and safety regulations of the establishments.”
Changes in state laws have delegating the authority of regulating the massage industry away from the cities and to the state’s the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC) instead. However, the new ordinance will give the city the authority to run background checks on persons that own at least a 5% interest in the business if those persons do not have CAMTCcertification.This ordinance would employ background checks on those owners.
The city says it has currently has less than 10 massage operations in town, and just 2 or 3 of those are suspected of not being legitimate.
