Bill Summary

Relative to membership fees at health clubs for certain physically or medically disabled persons. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.

AI Summary

This bill aims to require health clubs in Massachusetts to clearly post their membership categories and associated costs, including discounts for senior citizens, public employees, and families. Additionally, the bill proposes that if a member becomes physically or medically disabled for more than 3 months during their membership term, they can either be relieved of further payments for the duration of the disability or extend the contract at no additional cost for the same period. The bill also prohibits health clubs from imposing any fees for the first 3 months if a member becomes physically and medically disabled, as verified by a licensed physician.
