S 4096 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires health club services contract contain certain provisions regarding procedures during outbreak of infectious disease.

This bill requires health club service contracts in New Jersey to include specific clauses outlining procedures for cancelling memberships during an infectious disease outbreak. The key provision mandates that contracts must explicitly state how members can terminate their agreements if the facility closes or restricts access due to a public health emergency. Under these rules, the health club would be allowed to retain a portion of the payment covering services already used, along with a capped amount for administrative expenses. This change directly affects consumers who purchase gym memberships and the facilities that sell them, ensuring clearer terms for unexpected closures.
