House Democrat and Republican to reintroduce ‘click-to-cancel’ bill

Exclusive: Unsubscribe Act, to be reintroduced in the House on Tuesday, would ban complex subscription cancellations

The average American is losing hundreds of dollars each year on subscriptions they forget to cancel or struggle to end, even as federal consumer protections meant to address the problem remain blocked by a federal court ruling.

With the regulatory route stalled, two representatives are offering a bipartisan fix: California Democrat Mark Takano and Nevada Republican Mark Amodei are reintroducing the Unsubscribe Act Tuesday morning that would prohibit deliberately complex cancellation processes.
