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. If passed, the Click to Cancel Act will require companies to: Provide a simple, direct mechanism to cancel a subscription and immediately stop recurring charges. Obtain clear and informed consumer consent before enrolling anyone in an auto-renewal program. Clearly disclose all material terms before collecting any billing information. “Too 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. “This 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,” said Sherman. “Subscriptions are Corporate America’s new favorite way to try and rip people off, and it’s driving people crazy that they can’t easily cancel,”said Deluzio. "Cancelling subscriptions should not be full of tricks and traps that waste hard-earned time and money—cancelling should be just as easy as signing up. That’s what the ‘Click to Cancel’ policy from former FTC Chair Lina Khan was all about, and I’m 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.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T14:57:50Z |
