Update 8:45 p.m.


The Redding City Council tonight passed an ordinance that cracks down on illicit massage parlors and sex trafficking.

Under the rules, property owners would be held responsible for massage parlor operations.

No one could be present at a massage parlor after 11 p.m., which includes no bookkeeping after hours. The building would have to be dark at 11 p.m.

The regulations cover massage parlors whose employees are not certified by the California Massage Therapy Council. The rules establish standards for background checks, fingerprinting, a dress code and regular business hours.
