City attorney’s office finds that Happy Hour Massage, Discreet Massage and Soft Touch Studio in Cedar Rapids do not meet the city ordinance requiring licensed technicians with 70 hours of city-recognized training. The schools cited Iowa Code Chapter 713A claiming exemption for employer training programs, but the attorney notes 713A’s administration challenges the exemption.
