Prohibits health club services contracts from limiting liability for injuries caused by negligence of health club.
This bill prohibits health club contracts from limiting the club's liability for injuries caused by the club's negligence (such as unsafe equipment or staff errors). It directly affects health club members who suffer injuries due to the club's own careless actions. The key provision requires all health club service contracts to include a clear statement that the club cannot avoid responsibility for such negligence-related injuries. This aligns with prior court rulings that such liability waivers violate public policy. The bill does not change other contract terms like refunds or cancellation policies.
