Illicit massage businesses

Brown, Theresa N.

Abstract
This paper discusses the regularory authority of the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation's Massage/Bodywork Therapy Panel and the problem of licensing therapists but not establishments. Presently, there is not any governmental oversight in South Carolina, to ensure that the brick-and-mortar building is meeting all local building code requirements, nor are there any requirements in place to ensure enforcement of state/federal workplace safety rules. The massage establishments, if not regulated by another entity, potentially pose huge problems for the safety and well-being of the public as anyone would be able to say that they own or work in a massage business, but the reality is there could be illicit behaviors being performed.
