STATEMENT TO

SENATE, No. 3306

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  FEBRUARY 12, 2026

      The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Senate Bill No. 3306.

This bill modifies current law on health club services contracts by prohibiting a health club facility from assigning to a new owner contracts of members of the facility without the written consent of the members.  Written consent may include electronic acknowledgement by a member and is to be sent separately from the contract, in advance of any transfer of ownership.  The owner of the health club facility is to also notify members of the date when ownership is to be transferred, which may be sent by mail or electronically.  A health club services contract is to include a provision notifying the member of the requirement to obtain consent.
