HB26-1257: YOUR SUPPORT IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED

WHAT DOES THE BILL DO?

HB24-1371 inadvertently restricted the regulatory tools that home rule municipalities have successfully used for years to shut down “illicit massage facilities” — establishments that exploit the guise of legitimate massage services to facilitate human trafficking, drug distribution, money laundering, and fraud.

House Bill 26-1257, Local Regulation of Massage Facilities, restores the ability to use the regulatory tools necessary to combat illicit activity occurring in these facilities.

 

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE YES

Municipal licensure programs are often the first line of defense against criminal activity in illicit massage facilities — conducting inspections and background checks, responding to community complaints, and monitoring compliance. They must have the full range of regulatory tools to do this work effectively.

YOUR SUPPORT IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED

CML respectfully requests your SUPPORT on HB26-1257. This legislation restores the regulatory authority that municipalities need to protect their communities.
