Well this is good thing. Florida a lot of times leads the way. Maybe more States will follow suit.
The issue will never go away until prostitutes are issued their own business license.
This is the verbage on the Bill....

i don't see how this bill is going to change anything. people who offer extras are sometimes valid license holders that do it under the radar. last i checked anyhow. if i'm not mistaken...all i see this bill doing is giving cops more rights to investigate anyone or any establishment it wants.

am i misreading this?
I think you read it right. It seems to reinforce existing laws. Probably in response to court decisions resulting from sharp defense lawyers hired by operators who were busted for having illegals offering the extras.

Personal feelings regarding sex and prostitution. I am an Asexual female, sick and tired of any/all conversations revolving around or about sex. I became this way in 2005 with the death of Terri Schiavo a TBI survivor and health professional at the hands of her husband Mike, TN Senator former governor Lamar Alexander and men in the courts in general. He killed her I will always believe. Then comes Lee Peterson, then the cop named Peterson, then the guy in the Northwest and currently the guy in the Utah area. Each of them were involved with others not their WIFE when their spouse oops disappeared or found dead. I say ALL men are castrated at birth, yes I know that will diminish the population but it will also stop sexual predators.
There are just as many women as men.

What does Terri Schiavo have to do with this???? WOW You are seriously nutty. Her wishes were to not remain on life support. The courts decided it. Her husband had power of attorney. She was in a persistent vegetative state for FOURTEEN YEARS. The autopsy showed that her brain weighed only 615 g, only half the weight expected for a female of her age, height, and weight. Microscopic examination revealed extensive damage to nearly all brain regions. SHE WAS DEAD!!! Why is that so hard for some people to understand? As far as your feelings towards men goes... you really should seek help. Otherwise you will live a lonely bitter life

Wow!! how can you be an LMT with such hatred for a whole group of people? Part of OUR training is nuturing and connecting to someone. Do you only take female clients?

Really...we've all been burned by the opposite sex at some time or another. and we've all seen people who cheat (both men AND women). sounds to me like you got more going on than what this thread's original topic intended.
