This bill aims to make the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) "Negative Option Rule" a permanent law, ensuring consumers have an easy way to cancel subscriptions. The rule, issued on November 15, 2024, specifically addresses "click-to-cancel" requirements, meaning companies must provide a simple online cancellation method if they offer online sign-up. By codifying this rule, any violation will be treated as an unfair or deceptive act or practice under the Federal Trade Commission Act. The FTC is empowered to enforce these provisions using its full range of existing jurisdiction, powers, and duties, subjecting violators to established penalties and legal recourse.
