S 2254 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Click to Cancel Consumer Protection Act of 2025

This bill codifies the Federal Trade Commission's existing "negative option" rule into law, making it permanently binding as of July 7, 2025. It requires companies to get explicit customer consent before automatically renewing subscriptions or services, rather than assuming consent through inaction. The rule directly affects consumers who use recurring payment services (like streaming, software, or memberships) and the businesses that offer them. This change prevents companies from charging customers for continued service without clear, affirmative action from the user to renew.
