Bill > SB0314

This bill amends the Physical Fitness Services Act by introducing new regulations for lifetime memberships at physical fitness centers. Specifically, the bill defines a "lifetime membership" as a membership that lasts for the duration of the customer's life unless they choose to cancel. The bill prohibits fitness centers from offering lifetime memberships that violate existing provisions of the Act. It requires fitness centers to clearly and prominently disclose any changes to a customer's total payment obligations or reductions in benefits at least 60 days before an automatic contract renewal. Additionally, the bill mandates that fitness centers must provide a copy of their service contract to a customer upon request. These provisions aim to increase transparency and protect consumers by ensuring they have clear information about their membership terms and are informed of any potential changes before they occur.
