Title
Amending Toledo Municipal Code (TMC), Part Eleven, Subsections 1116.0183 correcting references to the Ohio Revised Code (ORC); and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Plan Commission is requesting a minor correction to TMC?1116.0183 Sexually-Oriented Business. The section currently contains three references to Ohio Revised Code Section 4731.16 when defining acceptable licensure for massage therapists. ORC Section 4731.16 gives the state medical board the power to administer or set a standard for examinations of competency to practice massage therapy.
TMC?1116.0183 Sexually-Oriented Business is meant to reference ORC Section 4731.17, which grants the state medical board the power to issue licenses to practice massage therapy should an applicant meet the requirements. One of these requirements is to pass an examination as prescribed in currently-referenced ORC Section 4731.16. The requested text amendment seeks only to correct this scrivener's error.
