Bill to crackdown on massage parlors clears House
…
Macon could soon be better equipped to fight those massage parlors that are doubling as sex parlors and hurting the city’s image.
…
Macon, which sits along I-75 in Middle Georgia, has about 25 massage parlors inside the city or nearby. That’s more per capita than operate in Atlanta, Washington or San Francisco, said Sen. Cecil Staton (R-Macon), the bill’s sponsor.
Current law, he said, makes it difficult to crackdown on sex parlors that advertise as massage parlors, spas and even tanning salons.
…
The bill gives the state board that licenses massage therapists the authority to impose a $500 fine, not the $5,000 Staton initially proposed. The measure also would clarify that local officials — including those in Macon and Bibb County — are not barred under state law from establishing their own massage parlor ordinances.
