Looks like this will do nothing to stop our hobby. There's still a bunch of loopholes providers can still take advantage of. Main thing is they need to get their CAMTC certificate to get the local LE off their back.
From their
FAQ:
Q. What limitations does AB 1147 impose on local regulation of certified massage professionals?
A. A local jurisdiction may not (1) prohibit a person of one sex from engaging in the massage of a person of the
other sex; (2) define a massage establishment as an adult entertainment business, or otherwise regulate a massage
establishment as adult entertainment; (3) require a massage establishment to have windows or walls that do not
extend from the floor to ceiling or have other internal physical structures (such as windows) that interfere with a
client's privacy; (4) impose client draping requirements or otherwise require clients to wear special clothing; (5)
prohibit a massage establishment from locking its external doors if the business is owned by one individual with
one or no employees; (6) require a massage establishment to post any notice in an area that may be viewed by
clients that contain explicit sexual language; (7) require a person certified by CAMTC to take any test, medical
examination, or background check; (8) require a person certified by CAMTC to get a license, permit, or other
authorization to provide massage unless that person is a business owner; (9) impose a dress code stricter than that
imposed by AB 1147; or (10) prohibit massage techniques permitted by CAMTC (Government Code 51034(c)).
I can't wait until they get rid of those curtains and replace with lockable doors thanks to the new law that protects my privacy!
