RE: AB 1147 (Bonilla, Gomez, Holden) Massage Therapy Act of 2014. (As amended on
April 23, 2014)
Notice of SUPPORT
Dear Assembly Member Bonilla:
The City/Town of _ supports your AB 1147, which would completely revise and
recast the law pertaining to massage therapy, including returning land use control back to the
cities.
AB 1147 allows local governments to enact ordinances that would require a certificates
massage establishment to obtain a license, permit or other authorization as long as that license,
permit or other authorization is required of any other individual or business providing
professional services. Having this authority returned will allow local governments to prevent
businesses operating under the auspices of massage therapy from engaging in prostitution and
human trafficking.
[If you have specific examples of the impact of this bill on your city/town,please include here.
You can discuss the negative impacts of SB 731 like the increasing number of establishments or
the number of businesses that advertise on illicit web sites. You may also want to talk about how
returning our land use and zoning authority helps,]
For these reasons, the City/Town of supports AB 1147.
Sincerely,
