La explicación oficial está en inglés; todavía no hay resumen en palabras sencillas.
This bill prohibits the practice of negative option billing. The bill defines “negative option billing” to mean a contract for a subscription for goods or services which is automatically renewed unless notice is provided by a customer to a seller to terminate the contract. The bill provides that a seller must provide customers with a clear and readable notice, either through writing, mail, or on a monthly statement at least days before the end of the contract, of the process by which a customer may renew a subscription to the seller.

If the seller does not receive a notification from the customer that the customer wishes to renew the subscription, the seller must not renew the subscription service. The bill provides that if a seller cancels a subscription contract after notification of acceptance was sent but not received, the seller must reinstate the subscription contract. The bill provides that a violation of the bill’s provisions shall result in the seller refunding a customer the unauthorized charge amount plus a percent penalty within days of the charge. The bill applies to contracts for subscription goods or services entered into on or after the effective date of the bill.
