A. In addition to the requirements of Title 3, Chapter 1 of the City Code, all licensed massage businesses and massage therapists must comply with the following performance standards:
1. Compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 146A, Complementary and Alternative Health Care Practices.
2. Compliance with Standards of Practice published by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB), as they may be amended from time to time. Standards specific to the NCBTMB will only apply to individuals holding Board Certification with the NCBTMB.
3. Massage business licenses are effective for the compact and contiguous space in the approved license application. A massage business license shall entitle the business to offer off-site therapeutic massage services at an event that is open to the general public, such as a fundraiser, community festival or other similar event, provided such services are performed by a licensed massage therapist employed by the business.
B. A licensed massage business or massage therapist that fails to abide by the performance standards outlined by this subsection shall be grounds for suspension or revocation of the license.
