Bills S73 and S421

Our investigation into the Human trafficking bill shows that there were two proposed Bills: S73 and S421. S73 was submitted in January and is currently being held for further study. S421 was submitted in March and it too is being held for further study. Bill S421 does not mention that a “massage parlor” be required to post a sign and S73 does mention “massage parlor” in it’s language. The American Massage Therapy Association Government Relations office has drafted an official letter in response to S73.   An official statement will be sent through ENGAGE to membership.
