Bill 34-26 Targets Trafficking Loophole at Spas

Luedtke Jul 22, 2026
Councilmember Dawn Luedtke introduced Bill 34-26 on July 21, 2026, to close a loophole allowing human trafficking operators to reopen bodyworks establishments under new LLC names. Over the past two years, the county issued 40 civil citations to 25 spas and charged 13 owners with felony offenses. The bill would require full disclosure of business ownership and prohibit licenses for those with prior trafficking, prostitution, or revoked-license histories.
