What is Santa Barbara County doing about this new law?
In July and August, Santa Barbara County EMS Agency sent letters to all known Health Clubs and Studios in the County. The EMS Agency explained the new law and informed the facilities of their requirements to comply and how to easily do so. Some facilities were exempt (due to non-membership program) and in some cases businesses had closed. Additionally, the EMS Agency contacted any facility not responding to the letters to confirm compliance. The chart below reflects the compliance of all facilities in Santa Barbara County.
