The bill H. 4635 proposes an amendment to Section 44-79-60 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to physical fitness service contracts. The key change allows for the use of electronic notification to inform customers about the automatic renewal of their contracts. Specifically, it stipulates that customers must be notified electronically or in writing at their last known address regarding the automatic renewal option they selected when the initial contract was executed.

Additionally, the bill maintains the requirement that the automatic renewal option must be clearly disclosed in bold type of at least fourteen-point font on the front page of the contract and must be initialed by the customer. It also specifies that any price changes in an automatically renewed contract must be communicated to the customer in writing at least thirty but not more than sixty days before the change takes effect. This amendment aims to modernize the notification process for contract renewals while ensuring that customers remain informed about their agreements.
