SHERIFF - ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 1, DIVISION 1, CHAPTER 1 AND TITLE 2, DIVISION 1, CHAPTER 11 OF THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY CODE OF REGULATORY ORDINANCES RELATING TO LICENSES REQUIRED FROM THE SHERIFF (05/19/2026 - first reading; 06/09/2026 - second reading unless ordinance is modified on second reading) (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
The San Diego County Sheriff's Office (Sheriff's Office) seeks to update provisions of the County's Code of Regulatory Ordinances to remove outdated regulations and reflect current law and practices. Since the State of California now oversees the regulation of massage professionals and massage schools through the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC), the Sheriff's Office no longer issues local permits for massage establishments, massage technicians, or bathhouses. The Sheriff's Office is proposing to delete old license categories and remove unused sections of the Code, including provisions related to bathhouses, holistic health practitioners, massage technicians, and the distribution of merchandise coupons.
Today's item requests that the San Diego County Board of Supervisors (Board) review and approve the introduction of an ordinance (first reading) relating to bathhouses, holistic health practitioners, massage technicians, and the merchandise coupon program. The ordinance will be introduced on May 19, 2026, and, if the Board takes action as recommended, the ordinance will be scheduled for adoption on June 9, 2026.
