Bill > H4479

This bill aims to reform health club memberships in Massachusetts. It defines key terms such as "automatic renewal" and "continuous service," requires health clubs to clearly post their membership categories and costs, and establishes bonding requirements for health clubs based on their membership size. The bill also enhances consumer protections, including the right to cancel a contract within 5 business days, the ability to cancel due to disability or a health club closure, and restrictions on health clubs assigning contracts without the consumer's informed consent. The bill also requires health clubs to notify the state's consumer affairs office of any temporary or permanent closures.
