Rhode Island H7181 mandates health clubs to stop automatic deductions within 30 days of consumer notice and requires advance written notice of rate.

Rhode Island H7181 amends the Unfair Sales Practices chapter to require health clubs to cease automatic deductions from consumer accounts or credit cards within 30 days of receiving a written notice from the consumer. Additionally, health clubs must provide at least 60 days' written notice to consumers of any proposed rate increases or substantial changes in services. Violators may face fines up to $1,000, and consumers can terminate their agreements without penalty if the health club fails to comply.
