Entertainment Business Control Law
Explanation:
From http://www.jekai.org/entries/aa/00/nn/aa00nn82.htm
ふうぞく【風俗】
<snip>
□ This meaning of the term, which is not adequately described in most kokugo dictionaries, probably comes from the name of a law that regulates such businesses: 風俗営業法(えいぎょうほう), which has been translated as "Entertainment Business Control Law." However, while that law covers a wide range of businesses, including restaurants, bars, and gambling establishments, 風俗 usually refers only to sex businesses.

From http://www.ajf.gr.jp/aidsinjapan/sw.htm
...After 1999 when modified Entertainment Business Control Law was amended, "delivery-style sex works" have increased. It is more difficult to provide HIV prevention services to "delivery-style sex workers", compared to "venue-based sex workers"....

There may be other options...

Regulation of Business Affecting Public Morals / Public Morals Law

My definition was derived from a report in the following website:

Also, I found a similar definition in Wikipedia below with a little different arrangment of the words (but essentially the same meaning about public morals law:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution_in_Japan

The Businesses Affecting Public Morals Regulation Law of 1948 (Fūzoku eigyō torishimari hō (風俗営業取締法?)), amended in 1985 and 1999, regulates these businesses.
