Oppose California Auto Renewal Bill AB 2863
What’s Happening: The California Legislature will be voting on a bill that would require fitness facilities to send annual cancelation reminders to a consumer under a continuous service agreement, penalize businesses who fail to obtain the consumer’s affirmative consent to the automatic renewal separate from any other portion of the contract, and mandate facilities answer phones “promptly” for twelve hours a day.

Why it Matters: 
Passage would require changes to membership contracts and cancelation notices, setting up a large administrative burden on fitness facilities and staff.

H&F Impact Analysis: Without additional amendments, the bill will create costs for fitness facilities which may have to re-work contracts and systems which have already been changed by prior legislation, produce an unworkable compliance framework for responding to calls, and provide no delayed implementation for facilities to implement significant changes. 

What We’re Doing: We are engaged with the sponsor’s office and the senate judiciary chair to seek amendments. 

How You Can Help: Take action by sending an email urging your elected officials to support protecting the Health & Fitness Industry by halting this legislation until additional amendments are adopted.
