AMEND CHAPTER 31 REGARDING MASSAGE THERAPYLICENSING, Continued) In St. Paul they require a test to ensure that the massage therapist is qualified, which is not the issue tonight. Mattick noted this ordinance deals strictly with background checks of individual massage therapists. Franchot asked whether there is any issue with the independent contractor status. Mattick stated whether they are an employee or an independent contractor, if they are performing massages, they would need to be licensed or have a background check performed. McMillan asked if this would affect the property owner also. Mattick indicated it would be the person who managed or controlled the space. Vader asked whether the City still wants the independent contractor to get a background check. Mattick indicated that would be correct regardless if they are an independent contractor or an employee.
