It is meant to have strict enforcement of massage <br />businesses and therapists – yet does not actually meet its objectives. <br />Some things that could be added to this to actually meet the objective are <br />things that Minneapolis has done on the business owner side of the <br />licensure. Things like requiring a site plan of the massage business, a <br />business plan, bank records with explanation of source of funds, tax <br />records, information on each partner of the business, workers <br />compensation information, samples of advertising materials, and more. <br />Those are things that are used to detect possible issues of Human <br />Trafficking and Prostitution. Obviously, you wouldn’t be able to ask for <br />client specific records or appointment books as that is Private Health <br />Information. Minneapolis also distinguishes between Multi-Therapists <br /> <br />
