Automatic renewal and continuous service offers; require businesses to provide clear terms and methods to cancel.
HB 378 would require businesses in Mississippi offering automatic renewal or continuous service subscriptions to clearly disclose all terms (including pricing after trials) before you subscribe, obtain your explicit permission before charging your card, and provide simple, one-click online cancellation options with prominent links or buttons. Businesses must also send advance notices (3-45 days before renewal) detailing renewal terms and cancellation methods, and notify consumers of any major changes to service terms. This applies to any business selling subscriptions or ongoing services that automatically renew without explicit consumer action. The bill aims to prevent surprise charges and simplify cancellation for consumers.
