Health spas, registration with attorney general, form, fee
A health spa cannot sell memberships or advertise in Missouri unless it is registered with the attorney general's office. Each location costs $100 to register and must renew every year. Money from those fees goes into a special fund just for overseeing health spas. The attorney general can go after health spas that break the rules, and people can still sue a health spa in court even if the state is already taking action.
