ORDINANCE NO. 1356
AN ORDINANCE REPEALING AND REPLACING CHAPTER 125 OF THE FRIDLEY
CITY CODE RELATED TO THE LICENSING OF MASSAGE THERAPY BUSINESSES
AND MASSAGE THERAPISTS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
Section One.
Repeal and Replacement. Chapter 125 of the Fridley City Code is hereby
repealed in its entirety and replaced as follows and is hereby ordained and adopted:
CHAPTER 125. MASSAGE THERAPY BUSINESSES AND MASSAGE THERAPISTS
125.01. PURPOSE AND FINDINGS
1.Purpose. The purpose of this chapter of the city code is to prohibit the operation of massage
businesses and the offering of massage services to the public except by those licensed as massage
therapy businesses and massage therapists pursuant to this chapter. The licensing regulations
prescribed herein are necessary in order to protect legitimate businesses, to prevent criminal
activity, and to protect the health and welfare of the community. The purpose of this section is not
to impose restrictions or limitations on the freedom of protected speech or expression.
2.Findings of the City Council. The city council makes the following findings regarding the need to
license massage therapy businesses and massage therapists and to prohibit all other types of
massage businesses and services to the public:
A.Persons who have bona fide and standardized training in therapeutic massage,
health, and hygiene can provide a legitimate and necessary service to the general
public.
B.Health and sanitation regulations governing massage therapy businesses and
therapists can minimize the risk of the spread of communicable diseases and can
promote overall health and sanitation.
C.Establishing license qualifications for massage therapy businesses and therapists
can minimize the risk that such businesses and persons will facilitate prostitution
and other criminal activity in the community.
D.Massage therapy businesses which employ persons with no specialized and
standardized training can tax law enforcement services because such businesses are
more likely to be operated as fronts for prostitution and other criminal activity than
operations established by persons with standardized training.
1
E.The training of professional massage therapists at accredited institutions is an
important means of ensuring the fullest measure of protecting the public health,
safety, and welfare.
