The bill amends Chapter 6-13 of the General Laws regarding "Unfair Sales Practices" by introducing new provisions that govern the operations of health clubs. It mandates that health clubs must stop automatic deductions from a consumer's account or credit card within 30 calendar days of receiving a written notice from the consumer requesting to stop such deductions. Notice from the consumer must be provided in written form and delivered by mail or in person.

Additionally, health clubs are required to give consumers at least 60 calendar days' notice of any proposed rate increases or substantial changes in the services being provided.

The bill establishes penalties for non-compliance, allowing health clubs to be fined up to $1,000 for violations. Consumers affected by such violations are entitled to terminate their contracts with the health club as of the date of the violation and will not be responsible for any charges assessed by the health club on or after that date. If any provisions of this bill conflict with existing contracts, the new regulations will apply to the next renewal of those contracts following the bill's effective date. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
