Senate Bill 1231 amends provisions of the Occupations Code relating to the regulation of health spas by the secretary of state under the Health Spa Act. The bill changes the date until which a holder of a health spa operator's certificate of registration must maintain the required security with the secretary of state and removes a provision requiring the secretary of state to perform certain actions if the security is canceled. The bill revises provisions relating to the denial and revocation of an exemption from security requirements, the filing of a refund claim by a health spa member against a health spa's security due to the health spa's closing or relocation, and the notice required to be posted before the health spa closes or relocates. The bill establishes the circumstances under which the secretary of state may permanently revoke a certificate of registration based on the certificate holder's failure to maintain the required security.
