  "bill_status": "Enroll into an Act",
  "short_title": "Local Regulation of Massage Facilities",
  "bill_summary": "<html><body><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current law authorizes a local government to license and regulate the operation of massage facilities within the local government's jurisdiction and to prevent the operation of illicit massage businesses, which are businesses that engage in massage but also engage in human-trafficking-related offenses. For the purpose of local enforcement, the bill expands the definition of 'illicit massage business' to include a massage business that engages in crimes other than human-trafficking-related offenses.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current law states that if a local government adopts a resolution or ordinance to establish business licensure requirements or to prohibit unlawful activities relating to illicit massage businesses, the resolution or ordinance must not be more restrictive than the requirements set forth in state law. The bill removes this limitation. <i>The bill clarifies that a local government may adopt a resolution or ordinance for the purposes of deterring illicit massage businesses; preventing human trafficking; protecting legitimate massage therapy businesses; and safeguarding public health, safety, and welfare. </i> The bill also allows a local government to impose local licensing requirements in addition to those requirements prescribed in state law.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current law allows a local government to impose an administrative fee not to exceed $150 for issuing or renewing a license. The bill removes the $150 cap on such fees. Current law exempts businesses that held licenses before August 10, 2022, from the administrative fees. The bill removes this exemption. <i>If a local government imposes an administrative fee, the amount of the fee must be reasonably related to the costs of the local government related to the licensing of massage facilities. The fee must not exceed $500 unless necessary to cover the local government's costs of licensing the massage facilities in it's jurisdiction. The fee may be adjusted yearly for inflation.</i></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current law allows a local government to deny, revoke, or suspend a license under certain circumstances. The bill allows a local government to establish additional grounds to deny, revoke, or suspend a license.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current law prohibits a person from owning a massage facility if the person:<br/></p><p><ul><li>Has not submitted to a required background check at least 30 days before assuming an ownership interest in the massage facility; or</li><li>Has been convicted of or entered a plea of nolo contendere that is accepted by the court for any of certain enumerated offenses.</li></ul></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bill provides that, if a local government establishes business licensure requirements for massage facilities, the resolution or ordinance adopted by the local government must prohibit ownership of massage facilities by the types of persons that are prohibited from ownership in current law.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current law states that preventing the operation of illicit massage businesses is a matter of statewide concern, and licensing and regulation of massage facilities is a matter of mixed statewide and local concern. The bill states that preventing the operation of illicit massage businesses is a matter of mixed statewide and local concern.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <i>The bill requires a local government that adopts a resolution or ordinance related to the local regulation of massage facilities on or after August 13, 2026, to consider the impacts of the resolution or ordinance on legitimate massage therapy businesses and conduct outreach to massage therapists and massage therapy businesses in the local government's jurisdiction and statewide organizations of massage therapists.</i></p><p><br/><i>(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)</i><br/><i>(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)</i></p></body></html>",

For the purpose of local enforcement, the bill expands the definition of 'illicit massage business' to include a massage business that engages in crimes other than human-trafficking-related offenses.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current law states that if a local government adopts a resolution or ordinance to establish business licensure requirements or to prohibit unlawful activities relating to illicit massage businesses, the resolution or ordinance must not be more restrictive than the requirements set forth in state law. The bill removes this limitation. <i>The bill clarifies that a local government may adopt a resolution or ordinance for the purposes of deterring illicit massage businesses; preventing human trafficking; protecting legitimate massage therapy businesses; and safeguarding public health, safety, and welfare. </i> The bill also allows a local government to impose local licensing requirements in addition to those requirements prescribed in state law.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current law allows a local government to impose an administrative fee not to exceed $150 for issuing or renewing a license. The bill removes the $150 cap on such fees. Current law exempts businesses that held licenses before August 10, 2022, from the administrative fees. The bill removes this exemption. <i>If a local government imposes an administrative fee, the amount of the fee must be reasonably related to the costs of the local government related to the licensing of massage facilities. The fee must not exceed $500 unless necessary to cover the local government's costs of licensing the massage facilities in it's jurisdiction. The fee may be adjusted yearly for inflation.</i></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current law allows a local government to deny, revoke, or suspend a license under certain circumstances. The bill allows a local government to establish additional grounds to deny, revoke, or suspend a license.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current law prohibits a person from owning a massage facility if the person:<br/></p><p><ul><li>Has not submitted to a required background check at least 30 days before assuming an ownership interest in the massage facility; or</li><li>Has been convicted of or entered a plea of nolo contendere that is accepted by the court for any of certain enumerated offenses.</li></ul></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The bill provides that, if a local government establishes business licensure requirements for massage facilities, the resolution or ordinance adopted by the local government must prohibit ownership of massage facilities by the types of persons that are prohibited from ownership in current law.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Current law states that preventing the operation of illicit massage businesses is a matter of statewide concern, and licensing and regulation of massage facilities is a matter of mixed statewide and local concern. The bill states that preventing the operation of illicit massage businesses is a matter of mixed statewide and local concern.<br/></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <i>The bill requires a local government that adopts a resolution or ordinance related to the local regulation of massage facilities on or after August 13, 2026, to consider the impacts of the resolution or ordinance on legitimate massage therapy businesses and conduct outreach to massage therapists and massage therapy businesses in the local government's jurisdiction and statewide organizations of massage therapists.</i></p><p><br/><i>(Note: Italicized words indicate new material added to the original summary; dashes through words indicate deletions from the original summary.)</i><br/><i>(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)</i></p></body></html>","amendment_files":[{"chamber":"Senate","date":"03/25/2026 11:57:06 AM","amendment":"L.006","hearing":"SEN Local Government & Housing","vote":"Passed*","url":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/6B8B9716CE450A5987258DC5004F4884/HB1257_L.006.pdf","url_html":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/6B8B9716CE450A5987258DC5004F4884/HB1257_L_006.html"},{"chamber":"Senate","date":"03/25/2026 11:56:11 AM","amendment":"L.005","hearing":"SEN Local Government & Housing","vote":"Passed*","url":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/E7940425D6928E7E87258DC5004F92BA/HB1257_L.005.pdf","url_html":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/E7940425D6928E7E87258DC5004F92BA/HB1257_L_005.html"},{"chamber":"Senate","date":"03/25/2026 11:56:00 AM","amendment":"L.004","hearing":"SEN Local Government & Housing","vote":"Passed*","url":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/C90970F7598CA85587258DC5004FD771/HB1257_L.004.pdf","url_html":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/C90970F7598CA85587258DC5004FD771/HB1257_L_004.html"},{"chamber":"House","date":"03/11/2026 10:39:58 AM","amendment":"L.003","hearing":"Second Reading","vote":"Passed**","url":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/E9501BD92E3DD17987258DB7005AFA4F/HB1257_L.003.pdf","url_html":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/E9501BD92E3DD17987258DB7005AFA4F/HB1257_L_003.html"},{"chamber":"House","date":"03/11/2026 10:38:26 AM","amendment":"L.002","hearing":"Second Reading","vote":"Passed**","url":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/B377786F5FBFDDB787258DB7005928D1/HB1257_L.002.pdf","url_html":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/B377786F5FBFDDB787258DB7005928D1/HB1257_L_002.html"},{"chamber":"House","date":"03/03/2026 12:49:46 PM","amendment":"L.001","hearing":"HOU Transportation, Housing & Local Government","vote":"Passed*","url":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/0C260CB979C0134C87258DAF005EBD52/HB1257_L.001.pdf","url_html":"https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/leg.colorado.gov/2026A/amendments/0C260CB979C0134C87258DAF005EBD52/HB1257_L_001.html"}],"session_laws_files":"","votes":[{"vote_id":"406","chamber":"HOUSE","action":"Senate Amendments","date":"04/02/2026",
