AI Summary

This bill would require health clubs to provide certain accommodations for members who become physically or medically disabled for more than three months during their membership term. Under the bill, these members would have the option to either be relieved of payment obligations for the duration of their disability or to extend the length of their contract at no additional cost for a period equal to the length of their disability. The bill also prohibits health clubs from imposing any fees for the first three months if a member becomes physically or medically disabled, provided the disability is verified by a licensed physician.
