(1) The general assembly finds and declares that because preventing the operation of illicit massage businesses, as defined in section 30-15-401.4, is a matter of statewide concern and licensing and regulation of massage facilities is a matter of mixed statewide and local concern, it is necessary, appropriate, and in the best interest of all Coloradans to require, uniformly throughout the state as a matter of statewide policy, that every current and prospective operator, owner, and employee of a massage facility submit to a background check, as defined in section 30-15-401.4 (2)(a.5), which generally means a fingerprint-based criminal history record check as required by section 30-15-401.4. (2) In accordance with section 30-15-401.4 (3.5) and subject to the exception set forth in section 30-15-401.4 (3)(c), every statutory or home rule municipality shall establish a local process to ensure that required background checks are conducted in accordance with the requirements of section 30-15-401.4.
