ATLANTA (AP) – The Senate has approved a proposal that would stiffen penalties against operators of illegal massage parlors, especially in middle Georgia, which seems to be a hub for such establishments.
Senate Bill 364 passed on Wednesday by unanimous vote. Under the proposed law, the offense would become a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000 upon a person’s third offense. The person’s license would be suspended for at least a year for their first offense and permanently on the third offense.
The bill also creates harsher penalties at the Secretary of State’s Office, which administers business licenses. Under the proposal, a person’s license would be suspended for at least a year for their first offense and permanently on the third offense.
