SACRAMENTO, Calif. The Sacramento City Council passed a new ordinance Tuesday which will require all massage spas across the city to get a business permit to operate and follow a new list of rules or face penalties.
The ordinance would require any massage spa to make sure they have things like adequate outdoor lighting, they need visibility into lobbies, meaning no more black bars on windows or curtains and no one would be allowed to sleep overnight at these businesses.
