Perdue Signs Massage Parlor Bill
Gov. Sonny Perdue signed a bill Tuesday that allows law enforcement officials to crack down on massage parlors suspected of engaging in illegal activity.
The measure increases penalties for convictions, including misdemeanor charges for the first offense and an aggravated misdemeanor for a second offense. Anything after that will be a felony with prison time of one to five years, and/or a $25,000 fine per offense.
The new law also holds spa owners and operators accountable if they’re proven to be involved in illegal activities.
The bill also lets local officials have more control over massage parlors in their area.
Senator Cecil Staton, a Republican from Macon, introduced the measure.
