§ 59.1-296.1. Registration; fees
A. It shall be unlawful for any health spa to offer, advertise, or execute or cause to be executed by the buyer any health spa contract in this Commonwealth unless the health spa at the time of the offer, advertisement, sale or execution of a health spa contract has been properly registered with the Commissioner. The registration shall (i) disclose the address, ownership, date of first sales and date of first opening of the health spa and such other information as the Commissioner may require consistent with the purposes of this chapter, (ii) be renewed annually on July 1, and (iii) be accompanied by the appropriate registration fee per each annual registration in the amount indicated below:
Number of unexpired Registration fee
contracts originally written
for more than one month
0 to 250 $200
251 to 500 $300
501 to 2000 $700
2001 or more $800
Further, it shall be accompanied by a late fee of fifty dollars if the registration renewal is neither postmarked nor received on or before July 1. In the event that a spa has multiple locations, a fifty dollar late fee for the first location and twenty-five dollars for each additional location shall accompany the registrations. For each successive thirty days after August 1, an additional twenty-five dollars shall be added for each location. Each separate location where health spa services are offered shall be considered a separate health spa and shall file a separate registration, even though the separate locations are owned or operated by the same owner.
B. Any health spa which sells a health spa contract prior to registering pursuant to this section and, if required, submits the appropriate surety required by § 59.1-306 shall pay a late filing fee of $100 for each thirty-day period the registration or surety is late. This fee shall be in addition to all other penalties allowed by law.
C. A registration shall be amended within twenty-one days if there is a change in the information included in the registration.
D. All fees shall be remitted to the State Treasurer and shall be placed to the credit and special fund of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to be used in the administration of this chapter.
