Human Trafficking Fingerprint Background Check Protection Act of 2024

HR 9755 requires all owners and employees (including independent contractors) of massage wellness spas to pass fingerprint-based background checks before being allowed to work. These checks, conducted by law enforcement, aim to identify criminal histories related to human trafficking, sexual exploitation, or violence. Owners must ensure compliance, with penalties like fines or license revocation for non-compliance. The bill directly affects the massage wellness spa industry by mandating this screening to enhance public safety and prevent exploitation.
