Government Code Sections 51030, et seq., Business and Professions Code Sections 460
and 4600 et seq., and Section 7 of Article XI of the California Constitution provide
authority for the legislative bodies of California counties to license and regulate
the business of massage. In enacting this chapter, the board of supervisors recognizes
that massage is a viable professional field offering the public health and therapeutic
services. However, there are known instances, both within and outside the county,
where the practice of massage and the operation of massage establishments have been
associated with unlawful activity and pose a threat to the quality of life in the
community. It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to protect the public health,
safety, and welfare by adopting regulations to prevent blighting conditions and deter
criminal activity that could occur from the practice of massage and the operation
of massage establishments. It is not the intent of this chapter to punish legitimate
massage practitioners and establishments.
