Bill Summary
Relative to the return of health clubs fees to members who become physically or medically disabled. Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure.
AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws to provide protection for health club members who become physically or medically disabled. Specifically, if a health club member experiences a disability lasting more than three months during their membership term, they will have two options: either be relieved of paying for the portion of the contract during their disability period, or extend their membership contract at no additional cost for a duration equal to their disability period. The bill also prohibits health clubs from charging any fees during a three-month disability period, provided that the disability is verified by a licensed physician. This legislation aims to offer consumer protection by ensuring that health club members are not financially penalized when significant medical conditions prevent them from using their membership services.
