Who needs no health club registration; membership contracts under the Consumer Protection Act in Kansas?

Issued by Kansas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division, at step 4 of 6 in the opening sequence: get the permits for your kind of business.

Does not need it

Kansas has no health club or health spa law, so a gym or studio needs no registration or bond. Membership contracts fall under the Consumer Protection Act: no misleading terms, honor the cancellation and automatic renewal terms you print, and expect the Attorney General to act on complaints. The city may still want a business license and the building a change-of-use permit.
