No person shall engage in, conduct, or carry on, or so permit, any stress relief establishment unless each and all of the following requirements are met:

(1) Each person employed or acting as a stress relief therapist shall have a valid license issued by the director. It shall be unlawful for any owner, manager, operator, responsible managing employee, or licensee in charge of or in control of a stress relief establishment to employ or permit a person to act as a stress relief therapist who is not in possession of a valid, unrevoked stress relief therapist license issued pursuant to this article.

The possession of a valid stress relief establishment license does not authorize the possessor to perform work for which a stress relief therapist license is required.

(2) Stress relief therapy may be carried on or conducted, and the premises may be open, only between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.

(3) A list of available services and the cost of such services shall be posted in an open public place within the premises and shall be described in readily understandable language. No owner, manager, operator, responsible managing employee, or licensee shall permit, and no stress relief therapist shall offer or perform, any service other than those posted.

(4) The stress relief establishment license and a copy of the license of each and every stress relief therapist employed in the establishment shall be displayed in an open and conspicuous place on the premises.

(5) Every stress relief establishment shall keep a written record of the date and hour of each treatment, the name and address of each customer, the name of the stress relief therapist administering the treatment, and the type of treatment authorized and administered. The records shall be maintained for a period of two years.

Only those officials who are charged with enforcement of this article shall inspect these records and they shall not use any information contained therein for any purpose other than enforcement of this article.

No stress relief establishment licensee or stress relief establishment employee shall utilize the records in any manner or for any purpose which is unrelated to enforcement of this article.

(6) All employees, including stress relief therapists, shall at all times while on the premises of the stress relief establishment be clean and shall wear clean nontransparent outer garments covering the body from knee to neck; the use of such garment shall be restricted to the stress relief establishment. Separate dressing rooms for each sex, equipped with individual lockers for each employee, shall be available on the premises.

(7) No persons shall enter, be, or remain in any part of a stress relief establishment while in the possession of, consuming, or using alcoholic beverages or drugs, except pursuant to a prescription for such drugs. The owner, operator, responsible managing employee, manager, or licensee shall not permit any person in violation of this section to enter or remain upon the premises.

(8) No stress relief establishment licensee may place, publish, or distribute, or so direct or permit, any advertising matter which either depicts any portion of the human body or includes matter in its text which could be reasonably construed as suggesting to prospective customers or clients that any service is available other than those stress relief therapy and any other services which stress relief establishment licensee is legally authorized to provide on the premises.

(9) No stress relief therapy shall be given in a stress relief establishment within any cubicle, room, booth, or other area which is fitted with a door capable of being locked.

(10) All exterior doors shall remain unlocked during business hours from the interior side.

(11) No stress relief therapy may be administered unless the patron wears clothing which fully covers the patron’s genitals, and if the patron is female, breasts.

(12) No stress relief establishment may be open for business unless there is at least one stress relief therapist holding a current, unrevoked license on the premises at all times.

(13) No persons other than the person receiving stress relief therapy and the administering stress relief therapist may be within a room in a stress relief establishment wherein stress relief therapy is being administered.

(15) The holder of a stress relief establishment license shall notify the director, in writing, of the name and address of each person employed as a stress relief therapist subsequent to the issuance of the license within five business days of that person being employed.
