AB 2402: Health studio contracts: fee limits: multiservice health club studio.
What AB 2402 does, verified October 5, 2026
The bill aims to amend a section of the civil code regarding health studio contracts. Currently, contracts for health studio services cannot exceed $4,400 in payment, including initiation fees and excluding interest charges. This bill would exempt multiservice health club studios from this provision, allowing them to charge more than the current limit. A "multiservice health club studio" would be defined to cover these purposes.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2402, Boerner. Health studio contracts: fee limits: multiservice health club studio.
Existing law generally regulates contracts for health studio services, as defined, including prohibiting those contracts, beginning January 1, 2010, from requiring payment in excess of $4,400, inclusive of initiation or initial membership fees and exclusive of interest or finance charges, by the person receiving the services or use of the facilities.
This bill would exempt a multiservice health club studio from the above-described provision on payment limitations and would define a “multiservice health club studio” for these purposes.
