MINOR
This bill amends the General Business Law to clarify that the $3,600 annual fee cap applies to all health clubs, explicitly removing an exemption that previously allowed multi-service clubs to charge higher fees. The definition of 'multi-service health club' is deleted, ensuring the fee limit is uniform across all facilities offering services like classes, pools, and food. This change protects consumers from higher costs at larger, amenity-rich gyms while maintaining the same inflation-adjusted cap for smaller clubs.
Scope change
The bill expands the scope of the fee cap to include multi-service health clubs that were previously exempt, applying the limit uniformly to all health clubs in New York.
ELIGIBILITY

Deleted the exemption allowing multi-service health clubs to exceed the $3,600 annual fee limit.

DEFINITION

Removed the specific definition of 'multi-service health club' which listed amenities like co-working spaces and childcare.

REQUIREMENT

Amended the act text to state the fee cap applies generally rather than excluding specific club types.
