Brad Sherman (CA-32) and Chris DeLuzio (PA-17) tointroduce the Click to Cancel Act, legislation that will make it easier for Americans to cancel costly recurring subscriptions. Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) recently introduced companion legislation in the Senate.\n\nIf passed, the Click to Cancel Act will require companies to:\n\nProvide a simple, direct mechanism to cancel a subscription and immediately stop recurring charges.\n\nObtain clear and informed consumer consent before enrolling anyone in an auto-renewal program.\n\nClearly disclose all material terms before collecting any billing information.\n\n\u201cToo many people are stuck paying for subscriptions they don't want, and that companies make nearly impossible to cancel. I am proud to co-lead this bill to make it easier to cancel recurring payments and put power back in the hands of everyday people,\" said Magaziner.\n\n\u201cThis legislation would ensure that auto-renew subscription services are transparent, easy to cancel, and required to gain explicit consent from the consumer before they are charged for services,\u201d said Sherman.\n\n\u201cSubscriptions are Corporate America\u2019s new favorite way to try and rip people off, and it\u2019s driving people crazy that they can\u2019t easily cancel,\u201dsaid Deluzio. \"Cancelling subscriptions should not be full of tricks and traps that waste hard-earned time and money\u2014cancelling should be just as easy as signing up. That\u2019s what the \u2018Click to Cancel\u2019 policy from former FTC Chair Lina Khan was all about, and I\u2019m proud to co-lead the bill in the House of Representatives to make it law. Congress should act now to pass this and save people money.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:57:50Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://magaziner.house.gov/media/press-releases/magaziner-co-leads-bill-make-subscription-cancellations-easier"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7901289500296116, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
