RENO, NV — City council members in Nevada have supported restrictions aimed at stopping the spread of illicit massage parlors in Reno amid concerns about sex, human and labor trafficking in the industry.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reported that the proposed regulations would require massage parlor operators to pass criminal background checks, ban 24-hour parlors and prohibit the use of one-way mirrors, cameras and showers in therapy rooms.

Reno City Council unanimously voted Wednesday to initially approve the proposed regulations after dozens of new massage parlors recently opened in the city.
City officials say the regulations must be approved again at a future meeting before they become law.
