Official Summary Text

AB 2402, as amended, Boerner.
Health studio contracts: fee limits: multiservice health club studio.
Existing law generally regulates contracts for health studio services, as defined, including prohibiting those contracts, beginning January 1, 2010, from requiring payment in excess of $4,400, inclusive of initiation or initial membership fees and exclusive of interest or finance charges, by the person receiving the services or use of the facilities.
This bill would exempt a multiservice health club studio from the above-described provision on payment limitations and would define a “multiservice health club studio” for these purposes.
