AI Summary
This bill amends Section 44-79-60 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which deals with physical fitness service contracts, to allow for electronic notification regarding the automatic renewal of these contracts. Previously, such notifications might have been restricted to written notices sent to a customer's last known address. The bill clarifies that for automatic renewal options, which can last up to one month and must be clearly disclosed in bold, large font and initialed by the customer, the facility can now use electronic means to inform the customer about the upcoming renewal, in addition to traditional written methods. This change aims to modernize the notification process for consumers who opt into automatic renewals for their gym memberships or similar services.
