HD 1404 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to fees at health clubs

This bill (HD 1404) changes health club membership contracts to protect members who become disabled. If a member is physically or medically disabled for over three months during their membership, they can either stop paying for the disabled period or extend their contract without extra cost for the same length of time. Health clubs cannot charge any fees during the first three months of verified disability (confirmed by a doctor). It directly affects health club members experiencing long-term disabilities, ensuring they aren't financially penalized for medical circumstances. The change modifies existing law in Chapter 93, Section 80 of the General Laws.
