H 338 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to fees at health clubs

This bill requires health clubs in Massachusetts to offer specific fee relief to members who become physically or medically disabled for more than three months. Under the new rules, affected members can either stop paying for the rest of their contract during the disability period or extend their membership at no extra cost. Additionally, clubs are prohibited from charging any fees during the first three months of a verified disability. The law mandates that a licensed physician must confirm the disability for these protections to apply.
