HB 6029 Summary

• Amends the Michigan Consumer Protection Act by modifying Section 3 (MCL 445.903) and adding new Section 3l addressing health club membership payments during closures.

• Requires health clubs unable to provide in-person access to offer customers one of three options: place membership on hold, prorate payments based on closure period, or extend the membership agreement for the duration of the closure.

• Prohibits health clubs from charging membership or specified payments for online access unless the customer agrees in writing to pay for that alternative service.

• Voids and makes unenforceable any membership agreement that conflicts with these new requirements.

• Applies only to membership agreements that take effect, are extended, renewed, or modified after the law's effective date; defines "health club" as a business providing fitness, weight control, or figure development services as its primary purpose.
