The massage parlor ordinance would establish licensing procedures for all those involved in the message business. It would also require masseuses to present documentation attesting to their education in the art of massage.
Presently, Cambridge has no license requirements for massage parlors.
The goal of the ordinance is "to prevent massage parlors from becoming places for quick sex," Lawrence W. Frisoli. chair man of the Committee on Ordinances, parlors are prosecuted under prostitution lwas. The laws, however, do not provide police with easy access to massage parlors, Higley said.
Robert Keene, attroney for a Cambridge massage parlor, said at the meeting that this stipulation would hurt his client's business, as the parlor employs eight to ten masseuses and has only male clients.
The ordinance would also prevent the parlor from being open between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. prime time in the massage business.
