The Los Angeles
County board of supervisors unanimously agreed on Tuesday
in a closed session to settle a lawsuit with nine
bathhouses, reports the Los Angeles Times.
The bathhouses
filed the lawsuit last year and said the county's rules
imposed on the bathhouses were illegal. The county
regulations said the bathhouses must pay annual fees
of more than $1,000, obtain county health licenses,
allow quarterly inspections, and have HIV testing on-site.
Jonathan
Fielding, county director of public health, said the
bathhouses "basically agreed to adhere to" county
rules but can also make complaints if their rights are
violated. Fielding said the county also requested that
adequate lighting, condoms, and lubricant be available to
patrons to discourage high-risk sex. (The
