Existing law authorizes the legislative body of a city for incorporated areas or county for unincorporated areas to enact an ordinance that provides for the licensure of a massage business. This authorization does not apply to cosmetologists, barbers, or persons licensed to practice any healing art pursuant to specified provisions.
This bill would include chiropractors among the persons for whom the authorization does not apply and would provide that the above described authorization does apply to an independent contractor of any of these persons if the independent contractor is engaged in, or is purported to be engaged in, the business of massage.
