Alameda County extends moratorium on massage parlors
…
The county’s board of supervisors unanimously approved a moratorium on new massage parlors last month after realizing the way the county regulates such facilities in some areas may not be in compliance with a law passed in 2008.
…
The county has seen a rise of unregulated massage parlors opening in unincorporated areas during the last year or so, and the department was concerned parlors in unincorporated areas could proliferate if a new county ordinance was not drafted.
County planners added that in the past several months, the public also has requested the Sheriff’s Office or code enforcement officials to investigate a number of recently opened massage parlors for possible illegal activity.
The county can continue to use different requirements than those used for acupuncture or chiropractic services before allowing noncertified massage parlor operators to open in the area because the 2008 law pertains only to certified massage therapists.
