ATLANTA — New state regulations for massage parlors, spurred by their proliferation in the Macon area, passed the Georgia House of Representatives today, bringing them close to final passage.
Senate Bill 364 would increase penalties for those who perform massages without a license and would subject parlor owners to the penalties as well. A first offense would be a misdemeanor, the second an aggravated misdemeanor and the third a felony punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and five years in jail.
The bill, sponsored by state Sen. Cecil Staton, R-Macon, also makes it clear that local governments can pass their own massage parlor regulations. Though many communities have already done this, Macon’s city attorney’s office has had some trepidation about doing so without a clear go-ahead from the state.The bill passed the House 150-8 Tuesday but in a different format from what the Senate has already passed. That means the changes will have to get Senate approval, but Staton said he’s OK with the new language, signaling easy final passage in the Senate.For more on this story, read Wednesday’s Telegraph.
