LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 15, Harman. Land use: business license. Existing law authorizes the legislative body of a city for incorporated areas or county for unincorporated areas to enact an ordinance that provides for the licensure of a massage business. This authorization does not apply to cosmetologists, barbers, or persons licensed to practice any healing art pursuant to specified provisions. This bill would include chiropractors among the persons for whom the authorization does not apply and would provide that the above described authorization does apply to an independent contractor of any of these persons if the independent contractor is engaged in, or is purported to be engaged in, the business of massage. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 51033 of the Government Code is amended to read: 51033. (a) This chapter does not apply to cosmetologists, barbers, or to persons licensed to practice any healing art pursuant to Division 2 (commencing with Section 500) of the Business and Professions Code or the Chiropractic Act when engaging in this practice within the scope of his or her license. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, this chapter shall apply to an independent contractor of any person described in subdivision (a) if the independent contractor is engaged in, or is purported to be engaged in, the business of massage.
