Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Trade Commission relating to ''Negative Option Rule''.
This bill (HJRES 100) is a procedural resolution seeking congressional disapproval of a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rule on "Negative Option Rule" marketing practices. It specifically targets the FTC’s rule published in the Federal Register (89 Fed. Reg. 90476, November 15, 2024), which required companies to get explicit customer consent before charging them for recurring services. If passed, the resolution would nullify the FTC rule, meaning it would have no legal effect and companies would no longer be required to comply with its provisions. This directly affects businesses using automatic billing or subscription models that previously had to obtain affirmative opt-in consent from customers.
