The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 156, aims to amend chapter 420 of the general statutes regarding health club membership cancellations. The bill stipulates that health clubs are required to process a membership cancellation within ten business days after receiving notice from the member. This insertion is intended to provide clarity and a specific timeframe for both health clubs and their members regarding the cancellation process.
The bill does not indicate any deletions from the current law, focusing solely on the new requirement for timely processing of cancellations. The purpose of this legislation is to enhance consumer protection by ensuring that health clubs adhere to a defined period for handling membership cancellations, thereby improving transparency and accountability in the industry.
