Bill > HB663

This bill establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for bodywork facilities in Pennsylvania, requiring licenses for facilities, managers, and table showers, and implementing strict operational guidelines to prevent potential sexual misconduct and ensure public safety. The bill mandates extensive background checks for all facility employees, requires detailed record-keeping, and prohibits a wide range of inappropriate behaviors, including sexually explicit advertising, employee nudity, and client sexual solicitation. Facilities must maintain thorough employee logs, display licenses prominently, keep all doors unlocked during business hours, and submit to unannounced inspections by authorities. The legislation also includes provisions for protecting minors during bodywork services by requiring parental presence and sets specific criteria for license application and potential denial, such as disqualifying individuals with certain criminal histories. Furthermore, the bill establishes administrative procedures for license issuance, suspension, and revocation, and includes provisions for asset forfeiture of facilities found to be operating illicitly, with the ultimate goal of preventing exploitation and ensuring professional standards in the bodywork industry.
